A difficult time for us as a close family. The decision to place mum in care was made easier with a caring assessment and placement. Brookvale is the right place for my mum's Alzheimer's, wondering and nervous; she has settled well.

The staff are excellent, always happy and helpful. Entertainment and activities are good and keep Dad involved. Communication could improve a little, email etc, but the telephone is always answered for any queries.

I am confident that the care given to Mum is the best available. The staff and management do their best to make sure that she is comfortable and safe and is included in the activities here at Brookvale House. I would recommend them to any prospective resident and their family.

My dad has just moved in but the carers are friendly and welcoming. For a busy care home, it seems to be well run.

Thank you for your kind and lovely review of Brookvale House. If there is anything that we can do whilst your father is with us please feel free to speak with the manager or the management team at the home.
Nice care home, which is taking good care of my uncle! Friendly staff, which has helped me a lot, since I live abroad and are not able to visit my uncle on a regular basis! Really nice garden and nice surroundings.

I always find the staff caring and helpful. The quality I look for, is that the staff actually care about the residents at the home. Relatives can easily talk to staff about any concerns they may be worrying about. The management have worked hard to improve and update the lounges, bathrooms, new curtains and chairs, bedrooms being clean and tidy. The garden looks lovely in the summer months. The residents have a variety of table activities, along with armchair exercises and lots of happy singing. Entertainers get everyone singing, before the tea and cake arrive.

My mother has been at Brookvale, for nearly a year, after a terrible time in hospital. We were recommended Brookvale by several people, one of them, a health professional. As you can imagine, this was a major upsetting decision. As a close family, to see a person you love so much go into care, after being so independent, the good part of their life and Brookvale has lived up to every aspect, as it was recommended to me! The manager is so compassionate and caring and is always there for help. The staff are wonderful and go above and beyond to make Mum's daily living requirements, simple and easy for her needs. Her room is near to the garden and she loves this as she can still see the beautiful garden and people coming and going. They have wonderful social activities host and I'm sure her social life is better than mine! My mother is happy and settled at Brookvale and it's peace of mind, twelve months on, that we did make the right decision for Mum and her wellbeing! In my eyes, 10/10, for Brookvale!
Thank you so much for your glowing review of Brookvale House and all the members of the team. We are so pleased that your mum has settled in from her stay in hospital and that she is thriving in the environment. If there is anything that we can do to make your mum's stay more comfortable, please do let us know.
My sister is very well looked after, with sympathy and understanding. She is extremely happy and contented to be at Brookevale House. Nothing is too much trouble and all her needs, seem to be taken care of.

My sister has been living at Brookvale House for some years now. The staff seem to be very caring. I feel there are not as many staff as when my sister first came to Brookvale. There has been a few occasions when I feel that not enough care, perhaps from the night staff, with her morning care i.e., dressing and personal care. I have spoken to the day staff about my concerns and informed that it would be the night staff because my sister, probably would be up early. Overall, the care from all the day staff is good. Thank you, to all the staff.

We were initially anxious, as a family, about Mum going into a care home. However, from the outset, the manager and all the staff, were so lovely and did everything they could to help Mum feel settled and ourselves, reassured. All staff are very friendly and helpful, never too busy to make time to answer any questions or address any concerns with regards to Mum's welfare. Mum has a nice, bright, airy room and we are happy she is safe and being well cared for. We recently attended a very well organised Halloween tea party, which provided a lovely afternoon for residents and their families.

Homely, friendly, caring and always keeps the family well-informed and involved. Any health concerns are always quickly resolved. As a family, we are all very happy that Dad calls this home. Lovely garden, the residents can use and activities for residents.
