It's the second time mum has been in Brooklands, they helped me out the first time after I had booked mum into somewhere else. After 3 hours they asked me to collect her as they couldn't cope!! Despite them knowing that mum has Alzheimer's!
Brooklands was polar opposite with mum able to be herself! Walk around and enjoy the facilities. I wouldn't hesitate to put mum in there for respite in the future.

My daughter had got to the point when she needed a great deal of care and I was unable to provide the security and safety she needed. Brooklands Care Home has accepted the duty of care in an exceptional way on all fronts. The environment is bright and comfortable but most important of all, as soon as you enter the home, there is such a friendly and caring atmosphere that you feel your loved one will be looked after with care and tenderness, just as you would wish for them.
I cannot thank you enough.

Brooklands is genuinely incredible and has been since day one my mum has lived there. The manager has been superbly helpful and supportive through the time mum has been there. All of the staff have been wonderful in helping her settle in; fantastically, enthusiastically, brilliantly and attentive to all of her needs. I can't recommend Brooklands highly enough. All the staff are a credit to their profession.

I cannot recommend or praise the care given here too highly. The staff are amazing. Everyone engages as soon as you come through the door, always cheerfully and happy, which reflects the whole atmosphere of the home. The care and attention given to each resident is superb. From those needing physical, mental and general day to day care to those needing end of life care. The staff are always considerate of residents requirements and maintain a very high standard of care whilst at the same time maintaining dignity. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff whether dealing with residents or relatives and every service is carried out in such a cheerful manner, it is a pleasure to visit. My sister-in-law, who was, understandably, reluctant to acknowledge that she was unable to cope on her own, has been made so welcome and given every care she needs, has taken an amazingly short time to settle and is so much more like the person we knew and loved many years ago.
Well done, thank you.

Everyone at Brooklands is so kind and caring, from the moment you walk through the doors you feel at home, and there is a welcoming, clean, bright, atmosphere. There is almost a sense of fun in the air that you would not think it is a care/nursing home. Brooklands cared for my mum when she could no longer cope and I could not do what they did. Her last few months were happy. She was content and I know she was in safe hands.

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.

My father has been a resident of Brooklands since May 2012 and has always received the highest level of care. The staff are genuinely caring and they create a very warm and friendly atmosphere for everybody. The food and facilities are excellent and visitors are always welcome. It is very comforting to know that my father is being looked after in such a lovely environment where all the residents are treated with dignity.
I would recommend Brooklands without any hesitation.
