Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a retired nurse with nearly 50 years of experience, working in hospital, and many care homes, I can honestly say I can find no fault in any aspect of care in Brook View.
It is a very special, caring home. The staff, with out exception are incredibly kind and supportive.
I could not wish for a better
place for my Mum, of nearly 101, to be cared for.
Reply from Abhishek Bagchi, Home Manager at Brook View

Having looked at other rest homes in areas Ferndown and West Moors,
I decided it was so pretty at Brook View that was the one I wanted to spend my respite care in.
(What a good job, it was the right one)
All the staff were always smiling at you and even remembering my name was quite amazing, as not
only mine but they were using other residents which made people happy, especially me.
So pleased I have made this my home now.

My mum has a stroke in 2024, on returning home after 2 and a half months in hospital, it was clear she was unhappy with the care she was being provided at home, so it was agreed she would become permanent at Brook View. My mum is really happy and cared for fabulously at Brook View, the staff are friendly,
the attention to detail is wonderful and I couldn't be more happy.

I arranged for my mum to come here for respite after being in hospital for breaking her hip.
Some of the staff are lovely but I will not send her here again if respite is needed due to issues throughout her stay.
Reply from Kerry Mason, Home Manager at Brook View

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Brook View regarding your mum's stay in April. We're sorry to hear her time with us didn't fully meet your expectations. Throughout her stay, our team worked closely with you and your family to support her recovery after her operation, while also addressing her other medical needs. As we maintained open communication regarding your mum's care, we were surprised to receive the review and would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss any concerns at the time. If you'd like to share more, we'd be happy to speak further and listen to your feedback.

From the outset, the management and the team at Brook View, West Moors, were helpful and accommodating during my mum’s stay with them.
The managers went over and above to help move my mum from hospital into the home with minimum fuss. The care home team were so friendly and kind and took care of all
my mum’s needs, including great food exercise and walking in the garden.

What a lovely home. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and the amenities are amazing. The residents are relaxed and happy. I’m always made to feel very welcome and am usually offered a cup of tea or coffee with homemade cake when I’m there. Brook View is a joy to visit.

Fantastic staff working in this beautiful care home! I spent a lovely morning with my relative in their room and in the cafe. Was shown around all the facilities they had to offer by the knowledgeable reception staff. Felt like part of the family and eased my mind about my relative staying there. Thank
you.

My mother was a resident at Brook View during August and September of this year. From the moment she arrived every effort was made to make her feel welcome and to help her settle. All of the people with whom I had contact including management, reception, carers, nurses, companions and others organising
activities were extremely nice to deal with and as well as demonstrating a high level of efficiency also showed empathy and great kindness towards my mother. The whole premises are light bright and airy and there is a really nice garden for residents to enjoy. The food and refreshments are of a high standard and my mother received a personal visit from the chef on her day of arrival to discuss her culinary likes and dislikes and to ask about her favourite dishes. Overall I was very pleased with the care my mother received during her stay.

My mother had a two-week respite stay in Brook View. From my first encounter with management, receptionist, nurses, carers and support staff, they all made my mother and myself very welcome. Her room was a delight, very welcoming, with everything she needed for comfort during her stay. I went away feeling
very confident she would be well cared for, which she was.

From the moment I arrived I have received the very best of care and attention and the food is absolutely delightful. The choice of foods is excellent. Cleaning done regularly, clean towels each and every day and also a shower every day by your kind and caring staff. The only sad thing is the weather
has been so bad, I was not able to visit your lovely gardens. But I will be back, rest assured. Thank you.

My Mother who is 101 years old lived on her own until a few weeks ago when she had to spend a couple of weeks in hospital and recently moved into Brook View. We looked at many homes before we found Brook View and from the first time we walked in we knew this would make her happy. The home and all
its facilities are all excellent, but also all the staff are happy and friendly, nothing is too much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Brook View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.878 for Brook View is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.878
  2. 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 Brook View is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
