Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really can't speak highly enough of everything that is Brookfields - Mum has been a resident for a couple of years now and never ever have I experienced anything other than utmost care and kindness from the staff, both towards the residents and also relatives. Their patience with Mum is enormous -
she is often difficult and rude, but they remain respectful and gentle.
Every single staff member in every department shows the same good nature, whether it's kitchen, laundry, maintenance, back office or nursing and care. The kitchen is spotless and the food is freshly cooked, wholesome, delicious and healthy. The home itself is beautifully clean, light and airy. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I didn't think that this sort of place still existed when I found it, but it's the best possible place I could have chosen for Mum. I am eternally grateful to everyone at Brookfields and hope they realise just how much it means to me to have Mum living under their care. Thank you X

My 98 year old father was in urgent need of care following a series of falls & increasing frailty. Brookfields welcomed us from the first visit on the Friday & speedily arranged for him to move in on the Tuesday! It's such a friendly, welcoming home that feels like your own home not a care or nursing
home. The staff are all helpful, caring & considerate. The premises are spotlessly clean, the laundry services are excellent and the attention to detail is amazing. My father settled in easily & is now so much happier and relaxed. He still has his own choices & the support being provided is exceptional. I've just had to order him some new trousers as he is putting weight on with the excellent food provided! I would highly recommend Brookfields to anyone looking for a caring, family run home for their relative or friend.

Mum was only at the nursing home for a few weeks but during that time she received excellent care. The staff were so thoughtful and caring and all her needs were met.
The staff ensured that it was a happy place for the residents to live and everything was spotlessly clean.

My 93 year old father was admitted from hospital.
He was widowed 2 months previously after a marriage of 70 years.
The staff at Brookfields welcomed him, my sister and I. They were caring and understood of his needs.
He always appears well cared for and tells us he likes it here as people care.

From our first approach to visit Brookfields to arrange a rapid discharge from hospital, the staff were welcoming and reassuring. We were immediately able to relax for the first time in weeks and feel Mum would be well cared for in an environment that felt homely rather than institutional. The food
was amazing, all home cooked. Mum put on weight and had her difficult allergy managed immediately so she could and wanted to eat. All the staff were caring, and friendly and did what they could to keep Mum comfortable with appropriate equipment. The place was spotless and the laundry also immaculate. Medical staff were called when appropriate and weekly visits from the attached advanced nurse practitioner was really useful too. There were plenty of activities for those who wanted with a weekly paper quiz sheet for those unable to leave their own room. All the little touches made the difference. You couldn't do better than Brookfields for care be it residential or end of life nursing care.

My aunt was diagnosed with terminal cancer and moved to Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd for end-of-life care in November. We chose the home as my father was in there for end-of-life care in February 2018 and the care had been excellent.
The home is beautiful. The staff are superb, they make you
feel very welcome and are so kind and caring to the residents. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone requiring nursing care.

Your home was recommended by a family member. My father has been with you since August 2024. The care he receives is of a very high standard, the staff are all welcoming and friendly. They deal with all nursing care issues in a professional manner. My father was very reluctant to go into a care setting
but he and myself couldn't wish for a better home, which is family run and would recommend this home to any other members of our family if the circumstances arise.

After a very quick change in circumstances with my mum's care, luckily Brookfield Private Nursing Home was able to give the care my mum now needs. From the moment you enter, you immediately feel the warmth from the team. They are professional but most importantly, for me, is the genuine affection they
have for the residents. Lovely, spotless surroundings filled with lots of activities, special organised events all done with a smile. My siblings and I feel that, most importantly, our mum is safe, is made comfortable and cared for by a team of familiar faces. There would be no hesitation in recommending Brookfield to anyone that is going through this process for either themselves or a loved one.

My friend moved to Brookfields Private Nursing Home with her husband several years ago and they both had excellent care from day one. After his death, the care and compassion shown to her have been second to none. This care has undoubtedly prolonged her life.
As well as my friend, my mother and uncle
also spent time at Brookfields at the end of their lives. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their kindness at what was a difficult time. The nursing care was exemplary and every care was taken to ensure that they were comfortable.
Not only are residents made welcome at Brookfields, so are the families of residents. In my opinion, it is a very special place.

From the moment my mum came to Brookfields, I knew she was in good and safe hands! The staff can't do enough for you.
The best way to describe it is a 5-star hotel.
The food is all fresh and made with care. Really appreciate everything they have done for my mum. Thank you everybody at Brookfields

We had to find a nursing home for my dad following his release from hospital and after visiting a few, we were pleased to find Brookfields Private Nursing Home. We've been delighted at the cleanliness of the home and the friendliness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always
happy to help with any queries or requests we have.

I had to find a care home for end-of-life care for my partner. From the moment I spoke to the care home, having tried at least 20 others, I knew it was the right one. The management and staff without exception are wonderful, kind, and caring and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend
it to anybody looking for a friendly home where the well-being of the resident is a top priority.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited nine other care homes in search of places for both my parents. It was such a relief to walk into the hallway of Brookfields Private Nursing Home and know I had found such a warm, friendly, well-decorated, welcoming place for them both, at last.
'Homely' is our overriding feeling, now my parents
have been there for the past month.
The staff are caring and considerate and always friendly.
My parents are now settled and content with their 'new home'. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone; the chef, the handymen, the cleaning staff and the care staff. They all work in a friendly, positive atmosphere.
The staff work hard with activities to keep the residents busy!
The chef is skilled and inventive and my dad particularly is enjoying foods he has not had the pleasure of for years!

I transferred my wife to Brookfields Private Nursing Home in April 2024 because I have family living in Etwall Derbyshire. It has turned out to be the best decision I have made for her care. The management and staff have made us both so welcome and go out of their way to make us feel part of the large
family they have created with all of the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After my elderly mother broke her wrist in March she needed respite care until she was fit to return to her own home. Brookfields offered to provide this care. Before moving in we were concerned as my mother has always been independent, living alone at home for the past 30 years, and we were uncertain
as to how she would react to such a change. We need not have worried as the staff team is excellent and this team includes everyone - management, nurses, office staff, cleaners kitchen staff, and handymen all of whom have the care of residents as their priority. There is a really good atmosphere at the Home. The staff respects privacy when preferred but also encourages to involve residents to meet with others for meals in the dining room and be in the lounge for the daily varied activities to join in or watch from a distance with no pressure. Facilities are excellent, the rooms spotlessly clean, and food appetising. The Nursing Care is first class. Thank you, Brookfield.

How fortunate we were to have found Brookfields Private Nursing Home and for them to have a room. From the first call, which was reassuring. All the staff are warm, welcoming, friendly and professional. The home is spotlessly clean, warm with such a calm atmosphere. Although Dad’s stay was only brief,
we can’t express our thanks enough to the wonderful care and dignity he received. We are immensely grateful that he was to say goodbye here. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.935 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (361 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 385 Ratings = 4.935
  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 Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is based on 33 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 33 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.

Job Title: Registered Nurse Joined: 2018

I have always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. I trained in Derby in 1988 at the age of 17 which was the soonest I could train at both the DRI and City Hospital. I qualified in 1991 and went on to work in a local nursing home. Over the 29 years I have worked as a nurse or manager in local homes, I found the best one (Brookfields) in August 2018.
