Review from Peggy M (Cousin of Resident) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our cousin was made very welcome on arrival. The staff showed great patience with a, sometimes, difficult resident.
The management kept us fully appraised of our cousin's condition at all times. We were consulted on care matters and included in decision making for which we were very grateful.

Review from Michael M (Son of Resident) published on 22 October 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
As a family, we have found the staff of Brooklyn Care home to be brilliant. Both in care of Mum and also their dealings with members of the family. We have the utmost appreciation for all that has been done whilst mum is in the Home. The care these last few weeks has been exceptional. My deepest thanks for all that has been done and you are doing these days.

Since my mother has been staying at Brooklyn House, she has been looked after extremely well. Mum settled very well and is always saying how lovely the food is also how kind and helpful the staff are towards her, I have always been kept up to date with everything for which I appreciate very much, also every time I have called in to see mum the staff have always been very polite and helpful. I would certainly recommend Brooklyn House for looking after your loved ones.

Review from A G (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I was extremely pleased with the all-round care my mother received, especially during her stages of dementia. All the staff were really caring and very knowledgable regarding her new treatment plan. The management were never too busy to discuss any concerns and were always very compassionate. My family and I have struggled throughout the different stages of my mother's dementia, but with the help and support of the staff at the home, we knew that my mum would be happy.

Review from N P (Sister of Resident) published on 14 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My brother had a lovely room with a bay window on the ground floor. He liked the staff and they liked him. He was given every assistance with a smile and always welcomed me when I went to see him. I was always updated on his doctor or hospital visits. Well done to the management and staff.

Overall Experience
Brooklyn House is such a lovely Care home. The staff are all so very caring and attentive to the residents and their family. It is very clean, light and airy and the food is really good too. It is so friendly. You can visit at any time and are made to feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend Brooklyn House to anyone and whether you need a family member or yourself to be looked after it is a perfect place to be.

I cannot praise the staff enough for the way I have been looked after.
Everything has been excellent and the girls so understanding and with a choice of menus. The food has been very good.

Review from Irene B (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother was welcomed with open arms into Brooklyn House. She had dementia but was treated with a lot of loving care and dignity. We could pop in any time (day or night) and was always welcomed. Nothing is too much or hard for all the caring staff. Such a wonderful place and fantastic stay.

Overall Experience
I am in this home for respite and rehabilitation and this is essentially a care home for dementia patients which I do not really think is a suitable place for people in my position. I must say that the staff and facilities are excellent and I am very grateful for all their care and help.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
