My husband who suffers from Dementia and Alzheimer's, moved into Brook House at the end of March. The staff have been terrific from day one ... caring not only for my husband but for the wider family. They totally understand what it is like to see a loved one fade away from you ... no longer being
the person he was. Their care for him both physically and mentaly is second to none. The facilities are great and the residents have so many activities laid on for them. Placing a loved on in a carehome is not easy, but I am so pleased that we chose Brook House.
Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On behalf of the team at Brook House

Thank you for your heartfelt review. We know how difficult it can be to make the decision to move a loved one into care, and we're truly grateful that you've placed your trust in Brook House. It's reassuring to hear that you've felt supported-not just in the care of your husband, but as a family too. The team will really value your kind words, and we're so pleased that the activities and environment have made a positive impact. Your feedback means a great deal to all of us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad visited for respite before moving permanently. Every member of staff has ensured that this move has been as smooth as possible, not only for my dad but for my mum and infact the whole of our family. When visiting dad, staff always go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and give you any
updates as needed. There is a real sense of community. My dad has dementia and the staff not only manage his needs well but are also aware when I have had a difficult visit and offer comfort and support. There is always something going on and residents are encouraged to take part - the residents evidently care about each other too - which I can only put down to the social interactions enjoyed through shared experiences. The Brook House team care not only for their residents but for the residents families too.
I have rated rooms 4/5 only on personal preference. They are a spacious and always clean just understandably lack colour.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review. We're really pleased to hear that your dad's transition to Brook House has been a positive experience for both him and your wider family.

Our friend was a resident in Brook House for approximately four and half years. Over that time we visited her regularly as she was our son in laws mother and very dear friend and family member. We have always been impressed by the daily and nursing care given to her as well s the friendliness extended
to us and to her. We congratulate the staff on an excellent job well done.

When I first viewed Brook House I almost cried, I knew straight away that it was the ideal place for my mother. It ticked every box and a few more. Every member of staff that I met were so caring and friendly and helped me realize how much happier my mum would be. My mother has now been there 10 days
and has settled in so well, joining in the activities and eating her lunch in the dining room. She is no longer lonely and agrees with me that Brook House is her lovely new home. The staff are always there for both my mum and myself. Making me feel welcome to visit anytime, nothing is too much trouble. All I can say is - thank you to you all from my mother and myself.

After a month in hospital I went to Brook House for respite care. After 4 weeks I renewed for a further 4, after which I was ready to return home with help from a part time carer. During this time I was helped to regain fitness and independence. I cannot fault the staff who were all so kind and supportive.
Special celebrations and activities were arranged for Christmas, New Year, my birthday and other anniversaries.

My Mum had a spell of respite care in Brook House following surgery. She was made so welcome and was extremely relaxed and comfortable during her stay. This warm feeling extends to relatives and visitors and it was a pleasure to call in. The staff reacted really quickly and professionally when a post
operative complication occurred and Mum was really looked after at a frightening time for her. Brook House has a real family feel and truly does feel like the residents 'home'. Mum is now back in her own home, much stronger and more confident after her stay.

It is good to hear she is stronger and more confident after her stay with us.

My mother arrived at Brook House for respite care following a hip replacement operation. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming that they made the whole experience a positive one for all the family There is a homely and comfortable feel which meant that following a post op complication and a
further stay in hospital my mother was more than keen to return for an extra spell of respite.
She has made some very dear friends who were both residents and staff and intends to maintain contact and visit often.
Thank you to everyone at BH

Brook House is an exceptional care home. From the very first cheery welcome, we know that it was the right place for our Dad. Everyone who works there is so kind, caring and professional. They took the time to get to know him and treated him with compassion and the utmost dignity and respect.
It
was a joy to visit him too. His room felt like home and the decor is bright and cheerful. The daily activities are fantastic - a lot of thought goes into them. We celebrated Dad's 91st birthday in the private dining room - great food and a lovely day. The bistro area is a relaxing place to enjoy a drink with your loved one and the garden is beautiful. Dad enjoyed his walks there.
The manager and her team helped us too, providing great support and guidance. They made a sometimes stressful situation better as nothing was too much trouble and we are truly grateful for that. They always made us feel so welcome and always listened. We can't thank them enough.

I cannot speak highly enough of Brook House. I had two visits to Brook House 2weeks in January and after 10 days in Hospital 1week in February.
The overall feeling of care, support and the homely feeling that the staff give is beyond anything I have felt in any other homes that, over the years, I
have visited. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Brook House in the future.

First impression when coming to view Brook House, when I first entered and the doors opened, the welcome and the feeling of love and care surrounded us before we met any of the staff. So very different from all the other care home I looked at for my husband.

and I felt enveloped with love, care and support straight away and understood with the difficult time we were both facing. I feel now there is a future and Brook House has become our family.

Whilst looking for a care home for my wife who has fairly complex needs following a stroke, I approached Brook House and found them very helpful with advice and information. I was also very impressed with the facilities and care offered. My wife subsequently moved into Brook House in the middle of October
and is settling in well. The staff are very friendly but also professional and I have so far not been disappointed with the way my wife is being cared for at all. The home provides many activities for residents which only adds to the homely and welcoming atmosphere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, then aged 102, made up her own mind to give up independent living and go into a care home. Although I had no personal experience of Brook House at that time, I knew of several people who had, and who had been happy there. On our first visit, Mum and I had been favourably impressed - we had
also been given a good lunch! Within a week we had applied for her to become resident there and she moved in. Eighteen months later, and now 104, she considers her move to Brook House as being the best decision she had made. The staff are wonderful and are totally genuine in the love and care that they give. Her room, and the accommodation in general, is excellent and the food and facilities offered are wonderful. Mum is totally at home in Brook House and, from a son's point of view, it is reassuring to know that she is so happy at this point in her life.

My mother-in-law is very happy in Brook House. She loves her room and spends each morning in there reading her paper which is delivered to her daily, except Tuesdays when she has her hair done in the hairdressing salon. She joins in some of the activities which are plentiful and someone from our family
visits her nearly every day. We enjoy coming to the home which is very welcoming with excellent staff, care and facilities. We take my mother-in-law out regularly and she also enjoys being pushed out into the garden at Brook House and spending time with us in the bistro area. Since coming to Brook House, my mother-in-law's health and well-being have improved greatly and we are so pleased that we chose this incredible home for her.

(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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 28 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.

Rhiannon Crofts

Job Title: Home Manager

Rhiannon is our Home Manager at Brook House Care Home, here’s a little bit more about herself and the home in her own words:


“One of the best things about my job is knowing that our residents are living their best life, seeing their smiles, and knowing we are looking after them.


I strive for continuous improvement and like to be hands-on and involved in the day-to-day care. I maintain good communication with my team, residents and families and feel that it is important to get to know everyone. I also like to have good community engagement, as it is important that our home is part of our local community.


Everything we do at Brook House is from the heart and it is not a job, but a passion. We are building a home together – team and residents.


There is always a lot going on in the area that we can get involved in. If you’d like to see our home please do get in touch, I would love to show you around.”
