Review from Sally W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursing home is very welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble.
The staff were very respectful of my mother's dignity and gave her the warm feeling she was amongst friends.
The flexibility over room set up and personal furniture was comforting.
The food and drink offered was good with
good accommodation of tastes, fads and favourites.
After mother passed away I was very comforted b by the owner and staff.
I would recommend this home very highly.

Review from Hilary G (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum received a warm and proficient welcome to Brookfield's Private Nursing Home after a few weeks of less than competent care. She remarked how safe she felt here. She has been treated with dignity, real care and compassion. Staff have always responded to requests and been available for discussion as
required. As a family, we have felt confident that mum is being well cared for. The quality and friendliness of all the staff have been very good. Thank you

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Auntie has been residing in Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd for nearly 4 years and from the start, I was impressed with the standard of care given to her. I have visited other homes so have been able to compare the care and facilities given to the residents. The staff are very friendly and attentive
and try to involve the residents in activities suitable to their needs.

Brookfields greatest asset is their staff, who work hard to create a genuine rapport with their guests and residents whilst looking after their needs in a totally professional way. Care in the truest meaning of the word.

Review from Trevor G (Son of Resident) published on 13 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Brookfields for 2 1/2 years and although, at times, she would like to be in her own home, she has been very well cared for and supported from day 1. At 98 she is very frail and the cared provided for her has been excellent and always treated with respect and a positive manner.
The staff are excellent and always on hand . Mum is generally happy and knows she is in a safe and supportive environment. I have been extremely happy with the care provided and would recommend Brookfields.

The staff are very kind, helpful and enjoy a chat and giggle with residents. They are considerate of individual needs and try to accommodate wherever possible.
The food is home-made from fresh produce and well varied.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.934 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (328 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 350 Ratings = 4.934
  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 30 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 30 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.

Lisa

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.

Job Title: Auxiliary Nurse Joined: 2018

I am a student nurse studying at Derby University and part-time Auxiliary Nurse at Brookfields. I worked at Brookfields before starting my nursing degree so I already knew staff and residents, and have been working at Brookfields alongside my studies.
