Review from J F (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum has been at Brook View for 4 months. Her care has been excellent. The manager leads a very professional and thoughtful staff. Everyone is friendly to me and my mum. All the staff are caring and kind - this goes from the kitchen, front desk, housekeeping, carers and nurses. There are always enough staff on duty to ensure every resident has attention and care as soon as it's needed. I am so happy we chose Brook View - I know my mum is safe and well looked after.

Reply from Lauren Steele, Home Manager at Brook View

Overall Experience

I am at brook view for respite - it is my first experience of a care home and arrived full of trepidation, i needn't have worried. Morale of the staff appears very high, lots of good humour. The catering is also very good, with good quality and plenty of choice. Overall i find it impossible to fault brook view, it is a well run home and the standard of cleanliness is very high, i would not hesitate to reside here.

Review from Gill R (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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

Thank you for such a wonderful review. With your many years of nursing experience, it's especially reassuring to know you feel so confident in the care at Brook View. We're delighted your mum is happy here, and your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us all.

Review from J B (Respite Resident) published on 28 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Abhishek Bagchi, Home Manager at Brook View

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Abhishek Bagchi, Home Manager at Brook View
