Over all time Brooklands House has 5 reviews.
Our mum has been living at Brooklands for over five years and it is of great comfort to the family that mum receives the 24/7 care she requires. I often find mum's declining health challenging but there is always a hug, a cup of tea and reassurance from the hard working staff. The management at Brooklands is exemplary, always available and can be seen around the Home whenever I visit. I wish to make a special mention of the fresh food and homecooked meals that are provided by the experienced chefs. All special occasions are celebrated for and there are visits from therapy animals, entertainers etc and there is always birthday cake! Brooklands is opposite a beautiful park which enables me to take mum out in the wheelchair. Thank you to all the Brooklands family for the loving care you give, you are all amazing.
Thank you so much for your kind review. Will pass this onto the staff :-)
I would just like to say that this in my opinion is one of the best. Staff and management are unbelievably caring and go the extra miles to make residents and related family feel inclusive and wanted within their environment. My father only had a short time here but had the best care and kindness shown to him throughout his stay and I would recommend anyone needing a care home to use this company.
Whilst there he was treated with dignity, respect and kindness at all times. The food was superb and he always looked forward to his meals, especially breakfast and he talked extremely highly of the chefs. His personal care was excellent and I witnessed it first-hand on many occasions.
Being in the home for such a long time invariably fosters relationships and trust. He was ever grateful to the owner and her team who treated him like part of their family and nothing was too difficult I believe they go above and beyond in their pursuit of ensuring their residents are well cared for.
The home is a clean and welcoming environment with superb amenities, located in a lovely part of Lytham overlooking the local gardens and a short walk to the town centre and promenade.
Highly recommended.
Thank you ever so much for this kind review. We will pass this onto the staffing team.
This is a family-owned home where everyone is treated like family whether they be staff or residents. The staff are the best of the best and even the regular hired-in entertainers are of very high standards, they have games days, days out around the local area, trips out to shows and many other in-house activities to keep the minds of everyone active.
Food standards are very high at Brooklands House, in fact I’d say that many meals I’ve seen have been of a good restaurant standard. The house is very well presented from the outside and is immaculate inside, no corners are cut and the whole team should be very proud of how good everything is. If I needed residential care or I had an elderly family member who needed care then Brooklands House would be top of my list of places to go. I’d recommend Brooklands to anyone.
Thanks so much, your feedback is most appreciated.
My father has been in Brooklands House Rest Home for just over a year. He is very well looked after. He is always smart-looking and very well-fed. He has a lovely large room overlooking gardens. The home is in a great location for trips out to the park or the seafront. Since being in the home the staff has stayed the same, which says a lot for a place. Great teamwork. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home. It gives us peace of mind.
Thank you so much, this is greatly appreciated.
