Brookview Care Home

I am generally very pleased with the care and attention given to my mother age 101. The staff are caring and understand her needs.

I love the activities and visits by school children.

Brookview Care Home has a very good standard of care. I visited last week to see my friend's mother.

The residents seem to manage very well and the staff are very helpful.

I recommended two of my neighbours to stay there in the last few years and visited a friend before that.

My father has dementia among other things and a doctor recently said to me that he didn't think that dad had much quality of life to which I have to argue that he has a lovely quality of life, not the life that he used to have and not the life that I want for myself but a new and different quality of life made possible by Brookview. So I can only be grateful to everyone there and thank the management who are obviously doing things right!

Everyone knows my name. Everyone steps to say hello, even if I do not know them, they still step to speak to me. Staff are very, very nice and courteous at all times. My room and the communal areas are very elegant. There is a vast choice of activities to choose from. I feel safe living at Brookview and cared for.

Happy with staff encouraging Mum to get out of bed and join in with the other residents. Nice environment. Staff available when needed and very helpful and polite.

My father spent the last two months of his life at Brookview. He had serious health issues including Dementia.

Other care homes were reluctant to accept my father, however, Brookview were both confident and efficient and succeeded in accepting and moving my father in within 24 hours. At a difficult time for my family, we really needed help, this was forthcoming from Brookview.

My father's stay was obviously challenging for all the staff, without exception they all played their part in making life as comfortable as possible for my father.

I have learnt a lot about care homes in the past few months, I understand that management is the key that sets the standards. The management at Brookview are both sincere and really professional creating a brilliant team.

My thanks for everything.

My mum passed away on the 4th of July, aged 95, having lived at Brookview for 3 years. She was extremely happy at the home. It really was her home. She was very frail but still mentally alert. She was encouraged to keep active, enjoyed the trips out and despite her tiny size (5 and a half stone), she loved the food. All the staff without exception were amazing, it was a comfort to know how well she was looked after, safe, warm and happy.

My mum who has Vascular Dementia became a resident at Brookview nursing and residential care home in Alderley Edge in November 2012. She had previously spent two months at a residential care home in Bramhall prior to this when we were advised they could no longer cater for her needs. As a family this was an extremely distressing time for us, finding Mum a suitable new home that would care and cater for her needs. This was no easy task!

I found Brookview on the internet and made an appointment to visit. As a family we have never looked back, we feel such a sense of relief and reassurance that our mum is being cared for by such an amazing team.

I think my ratings say everything else……….you have been brilliant!
