Review from Beverly C (Partner of Resident) published on 7 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brook House is beautifully bright and has a cosy feel. All the furniture and fittings are of a very high standard and having enjoyed several lunches with my partner I can confirm how good the food is. My partner is obviously so much happier and settled and I have stopped having sleepless nights worrying
about him. All the staff are very friendly and don’t rush him when he is trying to explain something. He has a new ‘best friend’ who shares his taste in music. The precautions taken against Covid when I visit are very thorough which is reassuring. I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.

Brook House has made such a difference to my mum. She has been really well looked after and cared for. The staff take a strong personal interest in mum and she has come to treat them like friends and family. The home is really well set up and has high standards in all areas. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a beautiful home. I visited my lovely friend and I had a lovely welcome to the home and was reassured that all precautions had been taken to ensure we were safe from any threat of Covid. Fabulous hospitality and I could clearly see how much happier my friend is in a home enjoying the fun activities
and delicious food.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Brook House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.889 for Brook House is calculated as follows: ( (339 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 377 Ratings = 4.889
  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 Brook House is based on 32 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 32 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.

Shelltunyan Pearce

Job Title: Home Manager

I am originally from South Africa and bring 34 years of experience in the care sector, plus stories from working between South Africa and the UK!


I'm a 1992 graduate with a Master's, PhD, and Health & Social Care qualification. I am no stranger to hard work, though I do try to sneak home to South Africa every year!


Anyone thinking of joining the care sector must be passionate about it, and you must love it. Knowledge itself isn’t enough; it’s the mix of knowledge and love that makes a great care worker.


When I'm not leading Brook House with its person-centred approach and putting residents’ needs first, you’ll find me caring for my 300-litre tropical fish tank, where my favourites are angel fish, capturing landscapes through my camera lens, or planning my next adventure (Thailand and Mexico are firm favourites).


A fan of South African food, athletics, tennis, and a good night out with friends, I believe in going the extra mile, both in life and in care.
