Broome Park Nursing Home

My 95-year-old mother was moved to Broome Park Nursing Home in January 2021 after a month in hospital having had several falls. Though now very frail and forgetful she seems to have settled reasonably well. The staff have always been responsive and happy to answer questions and let me speak with my mother on the phone. I have been able to visit which is very important.

My dad has been at Broome Park for nearly a year. It has been a difficult year for everyone. I have always felt that my dad was getting really good care. He is living with dementia but his needs have always been met with love and care. He is very happy at Broome Park, which makes it easier for the family. The staff keep me informed of his care. They have tried hard to allow visits safely. I cannot thank the staff enough for making a horrible situation as easy as possible for me and my step-mum.

My Dad has been a resident at Broome Park since the end of December 2019. He arrived at Broome Park malnourished and extremely weak after being in a different care home with, in our opinion, poor standards of care. Since his arrival at Broome Park, he has put on some weight and gained in strength despite downturns in his mental status due to his dementia. He has had some hospital stays due to his ongoing health problems, each time returning to the home in a weakened state but each time their care has brought about improvements in his health. As a family, we have nothing but praise for the kindness and care he receives. The staff are always very friendly and supportive and we would highly recommend the home to anyone in a similar situation.

The home is very welcoming and nothing seems too much trouble - I am confident that they look after my father and his specific nursing needs very well indeed.

My mother feels that she would be happy to return there and we have already booked a short stay.

My husband has been a resident at Broome Park for over 6 years. He has a rare and rather challenging form of dementia and was only 59 when he became a resident. Broome Park is unique at having the expertise to deal with a wide range of mental and physical impairment and very importantly for those below 65 years of age as well as above. Now very reduced in his capacity he was mobile, vocal and very active when he arrived and was made to feel very welcome and settled instantly. The home had a broad range of activities, visits from entertainers and outings that kept him stimulated and happy. I was also able to visit whenever I wished and even join him on his outings. The staff have always been extremely caring to myself, family and my husband and there is a strong sense of a united team. Changes in management caused a bit of a blip in the feel of the home but care was never compromised. Happily, order has now been restored under the new manager and her skilled team.

Broome Park is a very caring home for my mother who has advanced Alzheimers. We first had Mum stay at Broome Park nearly 4 years ago when she was in a much better state of mind but realised quite quickly that, although it was a great place, it was too early for Mum to live there. We always knew that when the time came, we would go back to Broome Park as we had not and did not, find an alternative home that was a good one.

I am confident that his condition will improve while he is a resident.

Very in-depth review. All areas covered in a sympathetic and caring way.

Really impressed with the care my mum had received at Broome Park. She was admitted after a rough hospital stay and began to improve almost immediately. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and despite some quite disturbed residents, there is always a calm atmosphere inside, and the residents seem happy. My mum is much happier here than in her previous care home and has got involved with many of their activities. They have a varied and busy activities schedule and I am so impressed how involving this is made for the residents - in her last place she was often left out, as too 'difficult'.
