My husband had excellent care for the three years he was in Brookfields Private Nursing Home. Cannot fault the care and attention he was given, especially towards the end of his life. They also looked after the entire family well.

Mum has been at Brookfields Private Nursing Home for over 3 years and we have never had any problems. It’s a lovely homely place and the staff are excellent. Mum has definitely improved since she has been here, and made friends, especially with the carers.

Excellent care home. Quality food. Very clean. Fantastic staff. My mother was really struggling at home and was on a downward spiral. Since she has been at Brookfields Private Nursing Home she has thrived. I would recommend this care home.

Mum has been here for nearly 2 years now and all the staff are friendly and helpful and do all they can to make her stay as comfortable as possible after her stroke. She is very close to some of the team as her face lights up when she sees them which I take to be a good sign that she is happy and well
looked after. So overall Brookfields Private Nursing Home was a good choice when looking for somewhere for mum to stay.

We found ourselves needing to find nursing care for mum quite unexpectedly but urgently. After knowing of the good reputation of Brookfields Private Nursing Home it was the place we turned to. We have not been disappointed. It’s a warm, welcoming friendly and efficient nursing home. A place we are confident
mum is being well supported, included and cared for. Would highly recommend.

Mum resided at Brookfields for the last years of her life. She was happy, content and secure. Mum was very fond of the staff who looked after her well. She loved to join in with the activities, and staff always tried to tailor these to her own needs. Flower arranging, making mince pies and many more.
At Christmas, the home did afternoon tea for residents and their families. We were treated to a delightful tea and parcels. I would highly recommend Brookfields and would like to thank them again for looking after Mum so well.

My mother needed respite care following a sudden operation in hospital. Brookfields could not have been more accommodating. From the very first phone call asking if they can help and throughout her stay, the whole team were incredible. It was our first experience of a nursing home for Mum, but it couldn't
have been better. All the staff were friendly, professional and compassionate as Mum was very unsure this was the right decision for her. Brookfields has a home from home feeling about it. We were all very happy with the care Brookfields gave Mum and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you, to everyone, it was a very positive experience for the whole family, knowing how well Mum was looked after.

Mum went to Brookfields last September 2021 after becoming bedbound, she had dementia and one day forgot how to stand up. Brookfields was so lovely from day one with kind and caring staff. Lovely, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the food was freshly cooked and amazing. Mum loved being given a choice.
From day one, Mum was happy, even though she wasn't sure if she was at home or not, she was happy and well looked after. Mum passed away very peacefully with her family by her side. The staff were faultless. I recommend Brookfields highly.

Mum has been a resident since July 2021, when too many falls at her home were becoming dangerous. Before replying to this, I asked her if she was happy at Brookfield. Her reply was that the staff were always nice to her and she liked the food. So I took that as a 'Yes'. I believe she is happy there
and that they do their best to take care of her. At the age of 100, she is quite frail and needs help with personal care nowadays. Apart from being very deaf she is still in fairly good health and we are able to take her out for lunch each week - the government's covid rules permitting. The home's covid rules are strict for staff and visitors, which I appreciate and follow. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brookfield.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After a bad fall at home and being hospitalised, my 93-year-old mother has been a full-time resident at Brookfields since September 2021. Brookfields is well managed, always very clean and well kept. We feel confident and happy that she is well looked after and cared for. When visiting, the nursing
and care staff are always welcoming, helpful and friendly. They all treat Mum with care and understanding. Being totally independent before her fall, my mum was not happy with her situation at first, but she is now much more settled and enjoys her time at Brookfields as much as she can, getting involved with the many activities provided each week. We feel she could not be in a better place and would not hesitate to recommend Brookfields to anyone looking for full-time care.
Thank you to everybody - you are doing a great job!

My parents moved into Brookfields in August 2020 and initially shared a room. After my mother passed away in early 2021, the team ensured my father was fully involved in choosing a new room and supported his adjustment to life without her during lockdown. He is very settled and we are now enjoying
the flexible approach of the team, visiting and going out for the day. I am always greeted with a smile and nothing has been too much trouble. I am happy with the care and attention he receives.

Brookfields have provided my Mum with a comfortable and safe environment. From initial enquiry to admission and thereafter every staff member I have encountered is helpful and caring. Despite a poor appetite Mum can be tempted by the excellent catering provision and though she rarely leaves her room
she has regular chatty visits from the staff.
It’s the detail that makes the difference; the Easter treats, the daily sherry but most of all a great team of caring nurses and staff.

Reply from Nicola Wilson, Registered Manager at Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd

Thank you very much for your kind words. I shall be sure to pass on your appreciation to all of our staff. They do a fantastic job every day, ensuring that our residents are happy and well cared for.

My father kept falling at his warden controlled flat so we all agreed, including my father, to look for a care home. After visits to different care homes, Brookfields felt right and it has proved an excellent decision. Dad is so settled and well looked after by all at Brookfields. They all meet him
and us with a smile and friendly chat, nurses, cooks and cleaners. He now looks smart, healthy and has lots of interaction with staff and residents which has made his world a little larger. Fabulous place, would highly recommend it.

My father had two spells as a resident, and my mum is currently in her second spell as a resident. Throughout, I have found the staff to be caring, friendly and professional. My mum is happy there
and I'm happy with the care she receives.

My husband has been a resident at Brookfields since January 2019. During this time he has received constant excellent care and consideration. The home is a ‘home from home’ and his comforts and needs have been met with patience and kindness. An added bonus is that resident's relatives are treated as
members of the Brookfields family. During the pandemic lockdowns, the high standards were maintained with the care staff making sure, they disregarded their own health, that their residents lacked for nothing. Brookfields will always rate as the first choice for a nursing home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.937 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 397 Ratings = 4.937

  • b) 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 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • 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.
