I have no bad things to say about Brooklands, only good. My wife is in a 'continued care room' and it was my choice that we attended Brooklands. Of all the local care homes I looked at, Brooklands stood out as being the best, and my assessment was correct. There doesn't seem to be anything that phases them, and everyone is treated fairly and with respect and dignity. I cannot find fault at all, just sincere thanks for the way they look after and care for my wife.
I have been visiting my mum for 3 months at the home and have found it a very well run and relaxing place to visit. All management welcoming with nurses and staff offering exceptional care. It is also a nice touch offering family and relatives food and drink whilst spending quality time together. Big thank you to all staff.
Mum had to give up her home and was put into another place, which wasn't very good, we went to Brooklands and was amazed at the difference, staff were very helpful the whole place was such a breath of fresh air. Mum moved in asap. Mum is looked after every step of the way and in every way she needs. Mum is very content and happy, she loves her room which is very cosy and homely, I can't fault Brooklands, so happy we found this for our mum, we dont need to worry now as Brooklands take care of mum as she deserves the best.
I am very happy now to see my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law being cared for very well. My husband and I live in Texas and need to know they are in safe hands. They both have dementia but with different needs. They seem very settled and happy. I find the care home friendly and caring and am sure they will listen if there are any problems and correct them, but so far so good. Thank you or giving my husband and I peace of mind.
My mum has been receiving care at Brooklands and has responded so very well. This is down to the staff and managements outstanding person centred approach. They are kind, patient and have tailored the care to meet her needs. In a truly difficult time they have kept me reassure and I leave Brooklands confident my mum is receiving the best care. I am truly grateful for all they have done and continue to do.
It's fab! My husband was the GP. My father died here and my mother and her sister live here.
I would recommend Brooklands without any hesitation.
Since being at Brooklands my mum has been cared for to suit her needs in the best possible way, Brooklands is a lovely environment. The staff are great with mum's needs, she is very settled on Treetops, the staff are fantastic with her care and friendly to all of us. We feel as a family that mum is in a safe environment, and looked after very well. Brooklands stands out from a lot of other care homes, the staff are all great and are very supportive.
I come several times a week to visit my sister. All of the staff are very nice and helpful.
Clean comfortable home. Caring staff always willing to help and assist if needed. Nice food. Secure environment.
