Review from Mark C (Son of Resident) published on 30 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This was Mum's second stay at Brooklyn House. Both stays were for respite care. Despite dementia being present Mum remembered the home and the staff on her second stay. This is testament to the care, attention and dignity that all the staff showed Mum. Unfortunately she passed away while in their care. But knowing she was in a safe and caring environment and the support the family were given made her stay a happy one.
↩Reply from Jilesh Patel, Owner at Brooklyn House
Dear Mark,Thank you so much for your heartfelt review.
It is incredibly touching to know that she remembered our home and staff during her second stay. We see this as the ultimate testament to the genuine bonds our team builds with residents; it truly shows that even when memory fades, the...

Overall Experience
Excellent care home, all the staff are so nice in the care of my relative, all very tuned into her needs and treat her with great care and empathy. All areas of the home are always clean and tidy with everybody joining in with activities. Bedrooms are lovely and can be filled with resident's own belongings to make them feel more at home. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Review from H C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 12 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
After being discharged several times by the hospital as medically fit (which she might of been) was not physically fit. The stay at Brooklyn House was part of a care package and from the very first minutes, the staff had taken control as the discharge from hospital had been incorrect. Once the period of settling in, confidence, strength and rehabilitation was quickly established. The staff were all very attentive and caring. It was a very happy atmosphere and helped a great deal in the rehabilitation and return home.

From owners to maintenance man, everyone gets involved and delivers a very personal service to their "guests". I am a regular visitor and am treated with the same care and interest as the Brooklyn House "guests" receive throughout their stay.

From the moment my husband was placed in the care of Brooklyn House, my fears were erased. The staff took the time to explain the whole process and show me around. They take exceptional care of my husband and all the residents under their care.

Review from Gale W (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My dad was at Brooklyn House for respite and was treated so well by staff, as was I. The staff were so down to earth, friendly and caring. Sadly he died whilst there but was really well cared for in his final days and would want to thank staff for all their efforts. All of the staff also supported me magnificently well after I lost him and their kindness knew no bounds.

Dear Gale, thank you so much for giving us the chance to care for Dad. It was an honour and he'll truly be missed by all at Brooklyn House.

Review from Karen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our mother originally was a resident for respite care, but we decided that her care would continue as she was so well looked after. She was always kept clean and the staff always tried their hardest to make sure all of her needs were met. Mum was unable to feed herself so the staff liquidised her food and fed her. Brooklyn House was always clean and never smelled. The rooms were nicely decorated and staff were always friendly and approachable. Our mother was in hospital for 2 months before going to Brooklyn House as she had a bad fall, she then went for respite care as she was so poorly after her fall when she was discharged from hospital. Unfortunately, our mother passed away due to deteriorating vascular dementia, but we would have continued to have her in Brooklyn House if this had not happened.

It was a pleasure and honour caring for Mum and she'll be truly missed by all at Brooklyn House.

Overall Experience
When mum came to Brooklyn House she was taken care of very well, the staff were fantastic. Could be a bit warmer on colder days.
Overall I'm happy.

Thank you very much for your review which is highly appreciated. We always try our best to make improvements where possible. Our heating system we have improved now and installed more radiators in the communal areas as well as increased the temperature as the days are getting colder to ensure our residents are comfortable.

Review from F W (Brother of Resident) published on 15 November 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Over the extended period of time, I have always found the management very helpful and willing to assist. The staff and helpers are kind and understanding. The food has always looked good and well presented in the right manner very professional.
The only slight criticism I have is sometimes the tidiness and the cleaning of the room needs improving. However, I and my sister are satisfied with the care home and would like to thank them for their care and support.

Overall Experience
The staff at Brooklyn House have been very accommodating. Understandably having a loved one not around you every day is extremely hard. However, the care and attention given to my grandad have helped to build trust between this care home and our family. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and for looking after our grandad.
