I am very grateful to the manager at Brooklands Care Home for her handling of the Covid-19 situation, which must have been very stressful, and to the staff for keeping my father safe and well throughout the pandemic. I have felt very safe in the environment prepared for visitors and their loved ones and we have been kept well informed of procedures as and when they have changed.

I am not really able to comment first hand on facilities, cleanliness etc. as due to the pandemic I have not been inside the home (other than for shielded visits in the conservatory), but there does seem to be a quite diligent approach to hygiene.

My dad was admitted for end of life care to Brooklands. Sadly, it was a much shorter stay than anticipated but I could not fault the care and attention both he, and we, received from all the staff we came in contact with. The manager should be very proud.

My father has lived in Brooklands for over 4 years and is very happy there. He is 102 yrs old now and his very words to me not so long ago were "the staff are like my family". He has been very well looked after and the staff have been so very kind to him. There is never a miserable face among the staff. They can never do enough for you. If you visit , they will offer you tea and biscuits even though they are under pressure. They will always give you time to tell you how your loved one is doing. They have a lot of running around to do and sometimes elderly people can be quite difficult but their patience and kindness is second to none. They have done everything in their power to keep the residents and staff safe from the Covid virus. I would recommend Brooklands to anyone. I don't think you would find a nicer place.

At Brooklands, we are one big happy family with kind understanding carers looking after our every need. My husband has lived at Brooklands for almost 4 years now and for me, it has become my second home. I feel relaxed and happy there and I know my husband is well looked after. I have every confidence in the nursing staff and all the staff work together well as a team. The food is excellent and there is good entertainment and activities most days.

My dad is 98 years old and blind but mentally alert. Staff are very caring and considerate to his needs and to his well being. He has been a resident for more than four years and has been content and well cared for throughout that time. There was a blip in the management for a short time but this is now excellent. I always feel welcome at whatever time I visit and staff make an effort to know me and consult me about his care and his wishes.

Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
