Brook Lodge is a beautiful care home. The setting is modern, clean but most of all it is homely and comfortable. The main lounge space provides an area for residents to sit together and engage socially, while there are other lounges and areas that visitors/families can use with their loved ones...

When my mother-in-law came here from hospital on 31st Jan 2025, she was very poorly, with delirium, hypothermia, and she'd had a terrible UTI. This wonderful care home, Brook Lodge, has saved her life. She was so ill, weak and unresponsive to anything. We feared for her. The care, help, and commitment shown to all the residents here are simply quite amazing. My mother-in-law is the picture of health, up walking, talking, eating and enjoying life again. The home is so efficient, clean, and friendly, with excellent amenities. My mother-in-law is now going to live here permanently. For the excellent care given to her.

My mother has moved to this home recently after having a terrible experience with another care home locally. With late-stage Alzheimer's, we have been impressed with the support we have received from staff with settling my mother. The home is clean, spacious, inviting, and reasonably priced (for residential care) and the management has provided excellent support around self-funding options. Food is good and care is person-led. Engagement activities are developing as occupancy rises but staff do spend a good amount of time with residents to keep them engaged.
Thank you for your lovely review, I am so pleased to read your mother has settled well. The whole team at Brook Lodge pride itself on delivering person-centred care and your review confirms the fantastic work they all do. Thank you.
Our mother took up residence at Brook Lodge in January. The staff are amazing and extremely helpful. The room is lovely, while a varied menu is available with the food prepared to a high standard. Highly recommended.

Dad was welcomed and so was Mum, my brother and I. We were given lunch, cakes, and drinks and made to feel like part of the family. Dad was made to feel at ease and was treated with such dignity and respect. An incredible home with a wonderful family feel. Not to mention the incredible facilities!
Thank you for your wonderful review, we are so pleased to hear dad and the whole family were made to feel so welcome.
