The staff are very dedicated and caring, also friendly and approachable. I am so confident leaving my mum in a very safe and happy environment and more importantly, she is very happy and content there. The only downside, in my opinion, is the lack of any activities due to no 'activities organisers', the job is vacant at the moment. When the organiser was there my mum really enjoyed doing them as they were very stimulating for her. Hopefully, they will be able to resume their activities soon.
There is no way I can fault anything or anybody. The service and staff are extremely good.

Review went well, Mum and family felt included and listened to. Home Manager is helpful and friendly and friendly staff are helpful and attentive. When staff are asked to do things Mum is well looked after and is happy to say at this home. She is given respect, dignity, choices, made to feel valued and a special person. The activities at the home are varied. Brewster House is a good home for Mum.
Staff always pleasant and helpful, meals seem very nice. Always seems very clean. My Mum was here a few years ago and it has improved since then.

Mum was admitted to Brewster House from hospital, January 2018. From day one the home has always been very helpful and informative. Mum was re-admitted to hospital and the staff were fantastic in organising ambulance and keeping her comfortable until she went to hospital. Mum is now going to be a permanent resident, and although it was the last thing me and my Sister wanted to do, we know she is in the right place and the staff deal with her needs in a professional way.
Brewster House is the worst care home I have ever had the unfortunate experience of seeing a loved one having to endure.

My name is Terry Gray, and I am the Home Manager at Brewster House. I first joined Runwood Homes in 2022 and have held several leadership roles within the organisation. Throughout my career in adult social care, I have remained passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and genuinely person-centred care. My aim is to ensure that every resident is treated with dignity and respect, receives care tailored to their individual needs, and is supported to maintain their choices and independence. I want Brewster House to feel like a true home, where residents are happy, families feel confident, and colleagues are proud to work. I believe open communication is essential, so please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or suggestions. My door is always open, and I will be very happy to help!

My name is Leoni, and I have been part of the Runwood Homes family since summer 2020. Initially starting as a carer, I transitioned into the Lifestyle Coordinator role in summer 2023—a role that truly feels like my calling.
Before joining Brewster House, I worked in a bakery and wasn’t quite sure what my next steps would be. However, within just one week of working here, I realised I had found where I was meant to be.
As many residents and families know, I have a deep love for animals, especially dogs. My dog, Cash Tennessee, often visits the home and brings so much joy to everyone.
I cherish coming to work each day, engaging in conversations, having fun, and helping residents enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle. It’s a privilege to be part of their lives, to plan trips and outings, and to make their wishes a reality whenever possible.
Being a Lifestyle Coordinator is more than just a job for me—it’s about building meaningful connections and making a positive impact on everyone at Brewster House.

I'm Paula. I am excited to have recently joined Brewster House as Unit Manager, working closely with Jenna, the Home Manager. My journey with Runwood Homes began approximately 15 years ago when I started as a Care Assistant. Over the years, I progressed to Senior Care Assistant and, for the past two years, have held the dual role of Unit Manager and Home Administrator.
I am passionate about building meaningful connections with our residents, their families, and friends. Ensuring that everyone in our care receives the highest standard of support and compassion is at the heart of everything I do.

Hi, I’m Andy, and I’m the Chef here at Brewster House.
My journey into the kitchen started somewhat by accident. When I was 17, my mum worked as a night senior in the care sector, which led me to take a kitchen porter job. From there, I worked my way up through the ranks, eventually becoming a chef.
I’ve now been at Brewster House for almost 3 years, and I’m proud to be part of a fantastic kitchen team. Together, we’re dedicated to creating delicious meals and providing excellent care for our wonderful residents.
