Mum has lived at Brookfield Care Home since February 2023. They supported us before she moved in with a tour, and answering loads of questions. On the day of moving in, the handyman was extremely helpful as were all the staff. The staff are exceptional - nothing is too much trouble, and the consistency
of care and attention is wonderful. Mum took a few weeks to settle but is contented and happy, and well looked after. On noticing that she was losing a bit of weight after moving in (normal apparently), they monitored it weekly until she started to put it back on. A few pieces of clothing have gone missing and of course there are always a few niggles, but overall I can't fault the place. We initially were disappointed that the rooms were not fully ensuite (with showers), but actually it means we are now sure Mum is having a shower because someone has to take her! Thank you Brookfield for taking such good care of our mum, which means we know she is safe and happy.

As a volunteer, I see kindness and good humour demonstrated by carers and nursing staff. The creative activities facilitated by the activities team are imaginative and inclusive. My involvement is mainly with the regular Thursday church service and I see residents who appreciate this spiritual input
and in particular respond to the opportunity to sing hymns and worship together. This is an aspect of Brookfield which I feel is particularly important.

You are a valued volunteer here at Brookfield. We were very happy when you said you would stay on to volunteer. I will pass on the lovely review to all my colleagues.

Mum is very content at Brookfield Care Home. She's well looked after, the food is good and the activities are amazing. She has a nice room and there are several communal areas she can spend time in. She's made friends there. She particularly likes the Methodist background, the regular visits from the
chaplain and the weekly service. For me and my sisters, it is wonderful to know she is safe and looked after by caring, kind and attentive staff. The building is not perfect but that matters much less than the quality of care, which is excellent. The staff are very attentive to small feedback points that I've brought up and are always happy to answer my questions. We are very very happy that we chose Brookfield.

First impressions are good but need more attention to clothes going missing every week, I asked about his clothes today, as he hasn't got a lot of clothes in his wardrobe or drawers. Some of the staff are really great. Since covid, I've not had a chance to see around the place. Would be nice to be able
to discuss things a lot more. I know staff is short but at times, it would help to be involved.

I can't thank all at Brookfield Care Home enough for all the wonderful care that they provide for my mum. She was recently classified as end-of-life after having a severe chest infection and was on oxygen and antibiotics. With all the staff's love and care, mum is now not on the end-of-life danger list.
Their love, care and quick action was amazing! Love them all.

Reply from Christine Hamilton, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

It is a total pleasure to care for your mum. She is very lucky to have such a caring and supportive family and you are lucky to have such a strong and loving mum. Thanks for all your support for us as well.

My dad was very unhappy here. He had lots of unwitnessed falls and a fight with another resident which again was unwitnessed. He eventually died of Covid. The care home failed to keep it out. I am left with no happy memories. Perfunctory care at best.

Very caring atmosphere. Nothing too much trouble to any of the staff - all very helpful and friendly. My brother appreciates the Christian ethos. Administration in the house and at MHA Head Office very good. All staff have been so helpful in facilitating phone and video contacts with my brother. Although
care home activities have been necessarily restricted over 2020, I'm very impressed by the activities which normally take place. Thank you!

I remember the worry of trying to find a good care home for my Mother when she was ready to leave hospital. It was a helpful social worker who said she had heard Brookfield was good. I was doubtful whether my Mother would settle, given her Alzheimer's, but I need not have fretted, Brookfield proved
its worth: my gaunt, fragile Mother received such kindness and expert care that she surprised us all by putting on a lot of the weight she had lost in hospital and settling into a happy routine. We had expected to lose her quite quickly, but she enjoyed her food and responded to the thoughtful stimulation offered at Brookfield, establishing a good routine. She was happier at Brookfield than she had been for years. When the end came, she slipped away peacefully. She and I received such consideration from her carers at that time especially, I shall never forget their empathy and commitment. My experience, and that of my Mother, leads me to recommend Brookfield very highly indeed.

Overall, excellent. I suggest residents could be given more idea, early each day, of what would be happening to them (a day in bed, time in a wheelchair or whatever). More mugs could be available between 10am and 11.30 when visitors may like mid-morning coffee.

My father has been a resident since April 2016. He has settled well and I am really pleased he is living in such a pleasant place which is his home.


The staff are always patient with my father and treat him with respect.


I always feel at ease when I visit and the staff are always available for

updates on my father, answer any questions I may have, listen to any suggestions I may make and take any action where necessary.

"I'm not going in one of those homes.... never... never.... never!" - the words of my mum just a few weeks ago. She was getting carers visit 3 times a day at home to wash, dress, feed, etc - but she also needed someone there 24/7. The family did it for a few months, but it just got too much.
A place
was found at this home to take her. We told Mum it was a 2 weeks respite care to give us a break, so she agreed to go, although very wary. But after just 3 days, she told us she wished she could stay there because it was so good. She was getting attention whenever she needed or wanted it, fed good food, medicines sorted, made friends already, "sing-a-longs", own room with en-suite - "it's like a hotel," she said.
Absolutely chuffed to bits with the place and the people - and that is good enough for me. Staff and management are ALL superstars in this place - so friendly and caring, but also so professional. Thank you for changing the quality of my mum's life.

Reply from Christine Hamilton, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Thank you so much for your review of Brookfield Care Home. It is so wonderful to hear that your Mum enjoyed her stay so much she has decided to stay with us permanently despite saying “never”.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.364)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.364) out of 10 for Brookfield Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.364 for Brookfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.364

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookfield Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
