My Mum is the most special person in my world along with my beautiful wife. I didn't think it would be possible to find people who cared for her as much as me. But seemingly at Brooklands, this has been the case. Sadly I can't name names, but you all know who you are and in fact, that's each and everyone
I've met...you are all wonderful. On behalf of my wife, brothers and myself, we can't thank you enough for the love and care you have shown my Mum and also the lovely way you have accommodated us all. Thank you.

I would like to put the minds at ease of those relatives who are thinking of putting a loved one in a home.
What a difficult decision! The Brooklands looked after my Dad with the utmost respect, I cannot fault the care and service provided.
Obviously there had been massive improvements recently
and the care and end of life care my dad received was excellent. Also, all the family were also catered for, which in a difficult time was much appreciated. I am a registered nurse and therefore was extra critical of the staff.
Do not hesitate to bring a loved one here to be cared for.

Review from Robert W (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to Brooklands over a week ago, as my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April. As the months passed and my fathers conditioned worsened, we made the decision that it would be in his best interest to go into Brooklands. I remember having the conversation with him prior
to him going. My father was a proud man but he knew we could not cope without more help, so he said that he trusted me to make the right decision. I am so glad that I agreed for him to go here. All the staff are genuinely nice caring people and my father was treated with dignity, respect and compassion from day one. The nurses were amazing and often worked over their shifts to support me and my dad in his final days but like I said, all of the staff were amazing. The rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean and my dad always looked comfortable, clean etc. It was a real comfort to me that my dad was so well looked after towards the end, it is something that will stay with me forever.

If you ring the bell for attention, it usually takes a while before someone comes.
After meals, it would be nice for diners hands and mouths to be wiped, also the table in rooms where people eat in their room, who wipe food off their wheelchairs, definitely down the side of the chair cushions.
Reply from Clare Sheehan at Brooklands Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this allows us to make improvements where required. Staff endeavour to respond to all call bells in a timely manner, however, there are times when response times may vary due to unforeseen circumstances, which are out of our control. Thank you for your suggestion in relation to hands and face cleansing following meals. Cleansing wipes are readily available in the dining area for this purpose and staff strive to maintain our Residents dignity at all times. The home has a cleaning regime in place for all equipment such as wheelchairs, over bed tables and furniture, however, we always welcome suggestions to improve the service we provide.

My wife was a resident in Brookland Care Home for just over 1 and a half years until she passed away and the staff were always helpful and had a smile. They not only look after my wife but me too.

My daughter is in Brooklands. I have been to see it at different times throughout her stay and every time I have been, everyone is very helpful, thoughtful and kind. If ever I have to go into care I would choose Brooklands. Everyone is always bright and cheerful.

I cannot say how lucky we were for our Dad to stay in such a lovely caring home. The staff went out of their way to make sure he was well looked after and their caring nature towards my Dad and my family went way above their roles and our expectations. He loved the staff and banter and could not have
passed in a more dignified manner. The flower at the end was very moving. The deputy nurse and all the staff really showed they cared throughout his stay.

Even though my Dad was only with you a short while, the care he received was outstanding. The room was clean and comfortable, but the staff were so friendly, welcoming and nothing too much trouble. My father was in a nursing bed and was treated at the end with the most care and respect from the staff.
Thank you to all for your care and support, especially the deputy nurse and your staff upstairs.

My Mum has Alzheimer's and was experiencing many falls at home. Brooklands Care Home provides a safe caring home for my Mum. The home is clean, the food is excellent and all the staff are amazing! They are so caring and kind, even the kitchen staff bringing the tea and biscuits know my Mum's name and
stop and speak to her. My Mum is happy and safe in their care. Special mention to the Activities Organiser who organises Bingo and many other activities for the residents (and their visitors) to participate.

From the initial call and visit to Brooklands, I felt enormous relief that we had made the right decision. They assisted us so efficiently and with such kindness. From maintenance to management, nothing was too much trouble and although my mum was only there for a short time before she passed away,
I felt like she was part of a bigger family who helped her with great dignity and respect. I cannot thank them enough.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for their care and attention they gave my mum during her stay.
Sadly, she passed away after a short time, but all the staff from the management, nursing team, maintenance service and the chefs were all so caring - nothing was too much trouble. You are all brilliant.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.707)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.707) out of 10 for Brooklands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.707 for Brooklands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.707
  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 Brooklands Care Home is based on 14 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
