Overall Experience

We had to make the decision to put our Dad into Brooke House Care Home as our mum was taken very ill and was admitted to hospital and will be there for the next few months due to a major operation. The support the help and the kindness of all the staff at Brooke House Care Home has been wonderful at

such a hard time with our mum in hospital, we had to make decisions that really my mum would've liked to have made regarding my dad going into a care home. Every visit we make he's smiling happy and his settled so quickly which is a great comfort to us all. Marie and fatima and all the staff have been fantastic with feedback and constant updates. We can't thank you at Brooke House Care Home enough for all your support and love that you're giving my dad and us as a family. Thank you all so much .

Overall Experience

I recently visited this care home and was genuinely impressed. The environment is beautiful, clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to feel comfortable and homely rather than clinical. What stood out the most was the staff. Every member of the team I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and

attentive. They clearly care deeply about the residents and treat them with kindness, dignity, and respect. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and pleasant place for their loved ones.

Overall Experience

The staff always seem cheerful and ready to help. The cleanliness of Brook House is very good; it is bright and welcoming.
The care Mum has received has been excellent. I was concerned about 'putting her in a home' after 90+ years of independence but the friendly atmosphere and the professional 24hr

care have made it the right choice for both of us.
Particular thanks to the management team who arrange activities and events for letting Mum take part and feel a valued part of the Brook House family.

Review from Sophia V (Friend of Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It is the people at Brook House that really make it a caring home. The team put great effort into every moment from keeping things running smoothly in the everyday care and proactively addressing the needs of the residents, to the celebrations - seasonal decorations and events, birthdays, games and

other activities. The garden and communal areas as well as the dog and cat that live onsite certainly enhance the environment. We visit our neighbour most weeks since he moved into the home earlier this year - at that time fragile, anxious, and with a number of health concerns. Over time we've seen him find his feet, feel more at ease, have health issues addressed, build trust and confidence, and start to make friends with other residents. The staff go out of their way to accommodate any requests during visits and ideas to improve his experience that we might have. A big thanks in particular to Manuela for always bringing a smile, compassion, professionalism, team stewardship, hospitality.

Reply from Lorna Brown, Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Excelcare Brook House Care HomeThank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that our team, activities, and homely environment have made a positive difference to your neighbour's wellbeing.

Your kind words about our team mean a great deal. We're proud of the compassion and professionalism she brings every day, and we will ensure your thanks are passed on.

Review from N E (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

As a family, we are so pleased that we chose Brook House for my Nanna following on from her dementia diagnosis. Nanna was a resident at Brook House for over two years, and in that time she, and we, all got to know the team well. The atmosphere at Brook House is very welcoming and relaxed, and the staff

are friendly, caring and always happy to help the residents and their families/friends. Nanna being a resident at Brook House meant that she was always safe, warm, had company, and looked after which allowed us to spend time with her as family. Nanna could sometimes be difficult and uncooperative, but the staff were always patient, kind and respectful, even when she was giving them an earful!
We are so grateful to everyone at Brook House, and cannot thank them enough for the kindness and care that Nanna received.

Reply from Jayne Masterson, Regional Director at Excelcare Brook House Care HomeThank you so much for your heartfelt review. It means the world to us to know that Brook House felt like a safe and welcoming place for your Nanna and your family. Were truly honoured to have been part of her journey and are grateful for the trust you placed in us. Your kind words about our teams care and compassion are deeply appreciatedwell be sure to share them with everyone here.
