Review from Clive S (Son of Resident) published on 10 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During the pandemic, the staff at Brookholme have been first class as ever, and have worked wonders keeping the home virus free. The situation has been made more difficult by guidelines requiring residents to remain in their own rooms, which must be stressful. Nonetheless, spirits have been kept up
by innovations such as the use of a Facebook portal to keep in touch with families (I’ve particularly welcomed this to keep in touch with mum) and continuing the excellent activities as best possible. Thank You to everyone, your efforts are really appreciated!

Review from Liz (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, aged 99 has been at Brookholme for many years and I cannot fault the care and treatment she has received. My cousin, aged 92 is also in the home and has received every care despite being a more 'difficult' resident than my mother. Despite all the problems of the last few months, I have been
impressed by the care and hard work of the staff and of their kindness to relatives who have not been able to see family for so long.

Thank you very much for this review. It is wonderful to know that you are happy with the care for both of your family members.

My relative has only been in this care home so I cannot compare with any other. The care home is clean and comfortable and the staff looks after the needs of a diverse group of people with care and compassion. There are daily activities which the residents are encouraged to take part in and notable
dates/occasions are celebrated. Visitors are welcomed and encouraged.

Review from E S (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is very homelike - not institutional. The carers have a genuine affection for the residents and see them as individuals. There are lots of activities available, and the staff are always looking for ways to improve the residents experiences. There is a family atmosphere.
The staff always have time
to answer questions and to get to know the residents family, involve them if they wish to be active in the care home and their family members care.

I have been most impressed by the friendliness of all of the staff and in particular the way in which they relate to the people in their care. They treat them with respect, with friendship, and with a sensitivity to their individual needs and behaviours.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Brookholme have looked after my Mum for over 4 years...up to and including her passing earlier this month. They have been absolutely fantastic! Their care, compassion, patience and sheer dedication ensured my Mum spent the last (confused) years of her life in a safe, caring environment with
people who treated her with dignity and respect. What more could anyone wish for?


I am so grateful to every single member of staff who supported my Mum...and me and my family... during the last weeks of her life. Truly exceptional and personal care - thank you!

Review from D T (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I find the staff very friendly, whenever I visit mum. Mum is happy and content at the home and enjoys the food. The staff work hard and overall I have no complaints. If I do raise a concern it is usually dealt with or acknowledged.
The only area I would like to improve is encouraging mum to participate
more in activities or 1-1 time, particularly as I can't visit as often as I used to. The management are very good and are always willing to discuss any issued/updates OK.

Mum is being well cared for at Brookholme Residential Home. She has mobility difficulties but is encouraged and supported to walk, giving her essential exercise. When medical problems have occurred prompt arrangements for care from the local GP surgery have been made.
The staff are friendly and approachable
and there is a relaxed atmosphere in the home.
Mum's room is light and airy and the lounge areas are pleasant. She enjoys the food on offer, which is plentiful, and there is sufficient choice to overcome any dislikes.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Brookholme Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.858 for Brookholme Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.858
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookholme Residential Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
