Love the positivity and warmth of staff. My brother gets timely care, is well hydrated, and has nourishing meals
His care needs are met 100%. No omissions sinces coming her 5 months ago.
However the hygiene of the environment is poor, the damaged furniture and furnishings are demoralising.
The carpet
and lift areas are v. dirty.
Reply from Louise Porter, Business Development Manager at Brockwell Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to give us this valuable feedback. We are pleased to hear your brothers care needs are being met & that the team have been supportive. We have taken your comments on board about the environment, we will look to replace any damaged furniture and we already have plans to replace the carpet. Thanks again for the feedback.

My dad has been in Brockwell Court Care Home for a year, the staff are all amazing with him, including the cleaners and maintenance team.
They encourage him to take part in the activities, which he does now.
The care they give my dad, in all aspects, is excellent and they are all so welcoming to myself
and family.
I am always in the knowledge that my dad is taken the best care of.

My mother stayed at Brockwell Court Care Home for respite due to myself and my partner going on holiday. This was the second time she had stayed here and it was her own choice to return. She stated that the staff and home were really good and looked after her very well. She has stated she would not
hesitate to return back to Brockwell Court.

Could not have wished for my gran to be in a better facility. The constant show of care is beyond what I could've wanted. All staff are extremely well-trained and the rapport they build with service users and their families is truly compassionate. Gran, unfortunately, moved out to another home however
cried for three days straight that she wanted to go back to Brockwell Court Care Home. All staff we spoke to regarding her coming back were so supportive and we, as a family, could not be happier with the home. Great work everyone, you're like an adopted family.

As soon as you walk through the main doors at Brockwell Court Care Home, there is an instant friendly, caring atmosphere, care staff are so dedicated to their roles. My mam is in a temporary bed looking to become permanent. All care staff do an amazing job. I wouldn't have my mother anywhere else. Activities

Review from R G (Respite Resident) published on 23 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having spent twelve weeks in the care home following a bad accident, my eyes were open to the hardworking team that's there. Nothing seemed to put them off, looking after all the needs of everyone and doing it in a very professional way. The younger staff members were so switched on to the job as well,
all seemed happy and smiling all the time. The older staff, some with a lot of years service, says something about the place. After a bit of a mix up at my time of leaving, a manager and supervisor jumped into a car and followed the ambulance to my home then got me into a wheelchair and got me into my house, to me they went above and beyond their jobs. Thank you all.

As soon as I arrived, I was made welcome, and the support of the staff was second to nine. There is nothing too much trouble for them. The care home is clean, food is good and plenty. Staff have helped me to recover so quickly, all because of their kindness and support.

The care home seems very friendly. The staff are good to talk to. The residents are very friendly. Plenty to do every day if you want to take part. Staff are kept very busy. The rooms are big enough for people. Good are outside for residents. Good for family parking, and also near the town centre and

I have lived here for 2-years and 4-months, I get fantastic care from the care staff, and they treat me really well. You wouldn't get this good care if you lived in a five-star hotel. The home is clean, and my room is a good size. I have no complaints.

The phone system is rubbish and needs updating. Mum is dissatisfied with the food quality and the variety is limited.
Reply from Olivia Shields, Marketing Assistant at Brockwell Court Care Home

Thank you, Colleen, for your comments about Brockwell Court Care Home. We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback and letting us know how we are doing. Our menus are created with feedback from residents and reflect their likes and dislikes. Residents have a food passport to capture any particular requirements or wishes in relation to food or the serving of meals. If our menu features something that is not to their liking, residents are able to request an alternative meal or order something from our Chef’s special menu that day. We apologise for the issue with the phone lines in the home. This is something we are aware of and are trying to resolve at present. Our Home Manager will be happy to discuss your concerns in more detail on your next visit to the home, however, if you would like to discuss this sooner, please do get in touch. Thank you again.

The staff are always very welcoming. The friend I come to visit is well cared for and is very content, and has been ever since he came, about 2 years ago. The food is something he really enjoys. The care he gets could not be improved on.

My father-in-law has been a resident here for the last twelve months, during this time, he has been very happy and content with the care he has received. He has spoken highly of all the staff and looks forward to chatting with them. Myself and the family highly recommended Brookwell Court Care Home,
all the staff have shown nothing but kindness and dedication towards my father-in-law; we really can’t thank them enough. They are absolute stars making the residents and families feel at ease knowing their loved ones are safe and well cared for. They do an amazing job always, especially during these uncertain times of this pandemic, keeping up everyone’s spirits and by keeping all the residents, families, and themselves safe. They are truly unsung heroes.

I would just like to thank the manager and all the wonderful staff at Brockwell Court for looking after my mother-in-law from August 2020. When she first went into Brockwell Court she was weak, fragile, dehydrated and suffering from malnourishment as she could not look after herself at home any longer
due to her condition. By October she was a new lady, the difference was amazing so we decided to make this a permanent place for her as she was so happy there. I would highly recommend this home for your loved ones.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.878) out of 10 for Brockwell Court 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.711 for Brockwell Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.711
  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 4.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brockwell Court Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.467
  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.
