Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my dad going into Brookview in mid April and passing in mid July I can honestly say he could not have received better care. All the staff were very caring and looked after all my dad's needs. My dad did say on regular occasions that the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. From
day one we were told to treat it like Dad's home with our comings & goings. The last couple of days of my dad's life he was treated with the upmost respect & dignity and the team ensured he was kept out of pain. A special mention to the manager who went above & beyond and ensured that my dad's last wish re donating his body to medical science was met, despite some last minute challenges. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brookview to look after someones loved one.

My husband was discharged to Brookview from hospital on 19/03/25. He was made to feel very welcome by all the staff. Unfortunately his condition deteriorated again on 1/4/25 and he was readmitted to hospital. He was discharged back to Brookview on 8/4/25 for end of life care and passed away on 9/4/25.
The care he was given in those last 2 days was excellent. Staff were kind and thoughtful to the whole family and we felt we had known them for months not just a few days. Would highly recommend.

A huge thank you to all the fabulous people at Brookview who offered exceptional care and comfort to my mother particularly in her final days. My mother was a resident for 3 years suffering from severe dementia and was bed ridden from most of her stay. The staff (current and past) ensured she was as
comfortable and looked after as possible.

I was extremely happy with the care and support the Brookview Nursing Home team gave the resident and me over the last few years.
Nothing has been too much trouble and genuine care was given in very challenging times.
It made a difficult time much easier, especially the resident but also myself.
The
team worked closely together and this could be seen at all the different levels, from first-line carer to the management.
Amazing support!
Reply from Denise West, Manager at Brookview Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure and an honour to look after your loved one - your devotion to them was very obvious to us all, even though at times it was difficult for you. The team misses you both as you were a very visible part of the home.

I am always welcomed with a friendly face. The home will contact me with any concerns straight away. Mum is usually up and loves to be with people she enjoys activities, especially crafts. It is a pity they no longer have the minibus as mum used to love going out. It is really nice that mum is able
to have her hair done on-site she used to go every week at home and this is some normality for her. She is always warm and she seems happy enough especially love the themed afternoon teas as it gives us time to be with mum on our own (she finds it difficult to get in and out of the car).
Reply from Denise West, Manager at Brookview Nursing Home

Thank you for the kind and supportive words regarding our care of your mum. We are sorry we no longer have the use of our own minibus but we continue to explore other means of ensuring our residents' links with the community continue, and outings are still taking place, but have been limited during winter. We are continually looking to improve our means of ensuring our resident's well-being remains the highest they can be, especially through our activities program. Hopefully, you will be able to continue to take part in these across the coming months. Any input you may have regarding your mum's preference would be most welcomed.

This home has always had the feel of a real home rather than a staging post, it's something else. Management has been consistent. Staff have come and gone during my fathers 4 year's plus in residence. He is currently very happy with the service he is receiving. There are always one or two areas where
small improvements would help. These are reflected in the scores below.
Reply from Denise West, Manager at Brookview Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words; as you know we are constantly looking at ways to improve our environment and we are currently waiting for the arrival of new chairs and soft furnishings to help with this. All your opinions and suggestions are greatly welcomed and we look to action them where we can.

Review from F R (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Do not contemplate sending a relative here.
The attitude of one of the nursing sisters is appalling, rude to me on several occasions when I phoned to enquire about my mum and used deprecating language about my mother and one of her visitors under the guise of being 'strict'
My mother was clearly at
the end of her life and was very anxious. The nurse in question was scathing about her anxiety and distinctly 'cagey' about her care. Compassion was severely lacking.
My mother wasn't treated with any dignity whatsoever, from not wearing clean clothes every day and other residents wandering in and out of her room as she lay dying. I had to insist on a stair gate being fitted to her room so she was afforded some peace (she was petrified of other guests wandering in). This was delayed until I actually visited and it 'miraculously' turned up when I was there, as did a change of batteries on a call bell.
Other staff I met were perfectly pleasant but didn't seem caring in any way.
Avoid.
Reply from Denise West, Manager at Brookview Nursing Home

We are very upset and concerned that you felt your mum's stay was not as you would have expected and offer our sincerest condolences to you and your family at this sad time, as well as our apologies for your concerns raised. We take pride in our end of life care delivery and have not received any concerns regarding this in the past, though we fully understand that everyone's experiences are different. Although this will not offer you any immediate comfort, we do not disclose intimate details regarding resident's care to callers over the telephone as we cannot confirm who they are, this is standard practice within the healthcare industry. Visiting at such delicate times is encouraged and welcomed, again I apologize if you feel these times were lacking in any way. Please be assured that we take all concerns seriously and aim to use feedback in a positive manner to continuously improve our service and care to our residents, your concerns and feelings will be shared with the team.

I seriously do not recommend you take your relatives to reside in this care home. My mother spent several days in this care home and she has ended up back in hospital with a serious and complicated fracture of her femur bone that could end her life if operated on. This is extremely distressing for her
sons. She was also seriously dehydrated and had to have two blood transfusions. I her son have witnessed careless forgetfulness by some of the staff whilst I was visiting my mother. I am deeply regretful that I did not act sooner to protect my mother. This care home will be under a formal investigation about the care of my mother by the Derbyshire County Council. Put your relatives in this home at your peril!
Reply from Ellen Sharp, CRO at Brookview Nursing Home

I am very sorry that your mum sustained a fall during her short stay with us at Brookview and for the distress this has caused to her and also to you as her family. While we take great care to put systems in place to minimise the risk of such an incident, sadly, despite our best efforts, we are unable to totally eliminate the risk that occasionally an individual in our care may fall and sustain such an injury. We take seriously any concerns raised and will thoroughly investigate what has happened in this case ensuring that any possible improvements are identified and put into place

I am writing to say thank you for the wonderful care you have provided for my father who has been with you for a few weeks now. It was a difficult decision for us to make, as we were worried about how he would be cared for, as you hear so many negative stories these days.


We need not have worried

at all. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much for them and my dad has told me many times how great they are. And this is from a gentleman who can be a tad grumpy at times, even this doesn’t phase the staff.


He is checked regularly and all his care and dietary needs are met.


Thank you all very much.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.194)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.194) out of 10 for Brookview Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.277 for Brookview Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.277
  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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookview Nursing Home is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917
  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.
