Brook House has provided an exceptional level of care for my mother following her fall at home in September. From the friendly faces on arrival as a visitor to the efficiency of the management team, from the kindness of the carers to the professionalism of the nursing staff I have nothing but praise for all of those that I have encountered. The staff have made sure that my mother's stay at Brook House has been as comfortable as possible and nothing has been too much trouble.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear how well your mother has been supported during her recovery, and your kind words about every part of the team mean a great deal. Knowing that her stay has been made comfortable, and that you've felt welcomed and reassured throughout, is exactly what the team at Brook House strives for. Your praise is sincerely appreciated.

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.
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...

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.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about your respite stay with us and it was our privilege to care for you and support you as you recuperated following your hospital stay and regain your fitness and independence. We are pleased you enjoyed all the activities and events and hope you are settling back in at home and are always here if you need any further support in the future.

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.

I am originally from South Africa and bring 34 years of experience in the care sector, having worked across both South Africa and the UK. I graduated in 1992 and hold a Master’s degree, a PhD, and a qualification in Health and Social Care. I am no stranger to hard work, although I always enjoy returning home to South Africa when I can.
I believe anyone considering a career in care needs to be genuinely passionate about what they do. Knowledge alone is not enough; it is the combination of knowledge, compassion, and a genuine love for caring that makes a great care professional.
As Home Manager at Brook House, I take a person-centred approach and always put residents’ needs first.
Outside of work, I enjoy caring for my 300-litre tropical fish tank, particularly my angelfish, capturing landscapes through my camera lens, and planning my next adventure, with Thailand and Mexico among my favourite destinations.
I am also a fan of South African food, athletics, tennis, and spending time with friends. I believe in going the extra mile, both in life and in care.
