I am very impressed with the care at Brookfield. The management is always there on hand to talk to and discuss any issues as they come up as well as advise on anything that may be troubling the family of the resident.
The care assistants are kind, attentive and very patient. The nursing staff is excellent
and cleaning staff are ready to sort out any issues as they occur.
My mother throws food on the floor but her room is always clean. I can't fault the facilities. If there is space for improvement it would be to vary perhaps more of the social activities.

My mother has had numerous health problems which have been dealt with swiftly by the nurses with positive outcomes - excellent care by them. The entertainment varies from people coming in from outside - semi/professional - to in- house activities designed not only to exercise the mind but also the body
- can't fault it. Regular meetings for relations to discuss issues and bazaars - fish and chips suppers all help to add to the life experiences of the residents.

Reply from Helen Nairn, Area Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Thank you for telling us about the excellent care your Mother has been receiving from our nursing team. I am glad that she is also enjoying the activities and the fish and chip suppers, as you say it all adds to the life experience of everyone in the home.

December is a very busy time for everyone especially the care staff making paperchains with the clients, decorating the dining rooms and passageways. For the last three years, I have been Father Christmas on Christmas Day. The clients have a really nice Christmas dinner, Christmas pudding and entertainment
after dinner. As a volunteer it's good to see the clients having fun, wrapping their presents, having visitors. I know it's just been December but all through the year, it's a very nice place to visit and volunteer.

Brookfield Care Home staff looked after my 95-year-old mother for the last 6 months. She was bed bound but totally alert and aware. The staff treated her with dignity recognising she was perfectly capable of making her own decisions about her care. She had very delicate skin and care staff were very
gentle with her. She absolutely loved the food. At the end, the staff kept me informed and called in the GP to check on her care. I am pleased we found Brookfield Care Home for mummy.

We were very impressed with Brookfield Christian Care Home. All of the staff seemed very nice and were all very helpful and friendly. On my mum's birthday, they made her a fabulous birthday cake and came in to sing happy birthday to her, making it quite a special occasion for her. They also provided
all her visitors that day with tea/coffee and biscuits. The rooms were very nice as well and it had a light and airy feel. I would definitely recommend Brookfield as a nice care home to stay.

Dad has been a resident for a year now. He has settled so well and is the calmest we have seen him for several years, he is now able to engage with us when we visit, to sit and chat and look at books with us, all the things he used to do. He is happy and smiling, the staff are so helpful and supportive
to both him and us. It feels like we are all just one big family caring for his needs together. They have respected and accommodated his long-standing habits, like snacking rather than eating meals. We could not have found a better place for him, and I cannot thank the staff enough for all they do. It always feels like nothing is too much trouble.

Reply from Wendy Champion, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

What a wonderful testament to how hard our team work to create a homely supportive environment. It's great to hear that your Dad is doing so well and that you all feel supported in assisting him, this is just as it should be. Thank you

My visits to see my mother at Brookfield Christian Care Home are infrequent because my home is in Cornwall. That said, when I do visit, I am pleased to see that mum is comfortable and is reasonably happy, as can be expected given the absence of most of her previous possessions and independence. Her
health and well-being have greatly improved because of the kind attention of the staff. She spends every day in a sitting room but she does have a nicely appointed room that has been personalised sympathetically. My visits are made more enjoyable by the kindness of the staff who, without exception, seem ready to help by providing tea and biscuits etc.

My mother was admitted to Brookfield in February 2015 when the Hospital expected her to have only a few weeks left to live.
Everyone at the home made me feel at home straightaway and sorted out a GP for my mother. Her room was up to the best hotel standards and nothing was too much trouble. Her health
and condition improved almost at once. In fact I was given nearly a year extra of being with her thanks to Brookfield.
I always found it a pleasure to visit the Home and everyone greeted me as part of their family. Nothing was too much trouble. The people who looked after my mother got to know her really well. I have left photos that I took every month to show how happy she had become.
When the time came for her to pass away this was handled with care and compassion. I was given all the time I needed to cope. Some of the excellent staff even took time out to join me at her funeral. I could ask nothing more than I and my mother were given. It is to the credit of the Hospital social worker that she found this home for my mother.

Reply from Wendy Champion, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

Thank you for taking time to write this lovely review of the care and support your Mother received at Brookfield Care Home.

My father staying here was totally inappropriate, this care home is unable to deal with all types of dementia or challenging behaviour.
My father was moved as soon as possible as the staff were unable to cope with him.
The upstairs of this care home is extremely sad.

Reply from Wendy Champion, Home Manager at Brookfield Care Home

I am sorry to hear that you are so unhappy with the care your Father received at Brookfield Care Home. As you are aware, despite our best efforts there were reasons why we could no longer care for your Father and I am sorry that he needed to move to another home in October. The room you chose for your Father was one of our large newly refurbished rooms and I am saddened to read that you felt these facilities were very poor.


I do hope that your Father has settled well into his new home and is receiving the level of support that he requires.

My Nan was only at Brookfield a short time but it was the happiest I have seen her in a long time. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. When Nan became poorly, the staff when above and beyond. Even in her last few days when all the family were staying they provided us with food and beds. we got
to spend those last precious moments with Nan. We are forever grateful. Care staff gave my Nan the best end of life care. This is an experience we will all go through and I am so so thankful my Nan's was a good one.

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.
