What our families say on carehome.co.uk

"I visited my dad with his great-granddaughter (just started walking) he hasn’t seen her for a good few months and he was so happy watching her. The weather was nice. We went into the garden and they provided tea, coffee, biscuits and cake. The staff are so friendly and pleasant making sure we had everything we needed. My dad has improved so much since being in their care. They have him up and getting involved in activities in the home. He is having physio and has even started walking a little bit. Dad seems happy which is lovely to see and smiles and laughs with the staff. They are happy to have families visit the care home. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and is very clean."

"From day one, I have received a good, friendly and kind reception and service from the management, especially the manager and the carer who took the extra trouble and care to make my stay comfortable, happy and made me feel at home. I am so pleased to recommend her for her kind, generous and loving care, service with a smile and made my stay pleasant and comfortable in my difficult time. I have a language problem and am a strict vegetarian, but despite that I have been well looked after. Providing me with my choice of TV programme on Netflix made my day. God bless the personal carer and the manager and the staff and nurses. Thank you all."

"I have found all the staff so caring and obliging in every way and I am so thankful that my husband is being looked after by such wonderful people. In his words 'I am more than happy to be here!'. We couldn't wish for more than that! Thank you, everyone!"

"The team at Brook House are very conscientious and genuinely care for their residents which is very reassuring. They become good friends with visitors too. The standard of care in practical terms is excellent. I am always impressed by the quality of food and how it is tailored to the needs and likes of individual residents. My only real concern is that communication is not their strong point, including it seems within the team."

"I find the management and staff very helpful and accommodating. Since my mum has been here, they have bent over backwards to help us in every way. The form was helpful and informative and the management ensure that the home is clean and spotless. I'm sure the rest of my family will agree."

"Summertime was a good experience at Brook House. Outdoor garden visits were well organised. They celebrated most festivals with activity coordinators and staff, though we missed the celebrations as were restricted. The photos/videos sent by the coordinator were very much appreciated by our overseas family too. Throughout the pandemic, we were given feedback as to what was going on at the care home. The indoor/cubicle visits with the speaker system is a brilliant idea. Recent facility to visit Mum indoors has been a great relief. We have been very happy with the care/management and all the staff. The Gwyneth and Hindu speaking staff makes a lot of difference in communication with residents, especially Mum relates to them and enjoys the activities with better understanding."

"My mum went into Brook House Wembly in May 2015. I had no concerns when Covid kicked in as I knew she was still receiving the utmost care in every way, This home deserves the highest recognition on all levels. Mum passed in May 2021."

"My family and I have no words to express our gratitude for the way in which all the staff cared for our mother during her stay at the Barchester Brook House Care Home. We were happy that our mother spent her last few years in such a caring environment with such an impeccably high standard of care delivered with warmth and compassion. Thank you all for the loving care you gave to our mom. Brook House is a special place!"

"My mother was a resident for 3 years at Barchester Brook House Care Home suffering from Alzheimer's. She recently passed away at the ripe old age of 98. The care she received from the staff was excellent and much better than we could have provided at home. All the staff of Brook House, the manager and his team, nurses, care assistants and reception and admin staff are professionally trained to look after the residents and welcome relatives when visiting. The end of life care provided to my mother by the nurses and care assistants was first class. During the last days of my mum's life, the relatives were given 24-hour access and support. Also, the after death service was very much supportive and sympathetic. Once more my family will be eternally grateful to the staff and management at Brook House for looking after our late Mother."

"My mum was a resident for about four years. I live in Sydney, Australia and during this time I visited her several times and my last visit was in September 2019. I just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know that I can’t thank the staff enough for the care and attention that my mum received during her stay at Barchester Brook House Care Home. I found the facilities were exceptional and the staff were all so cheerful, attentive and supportive. Once again thank you all so much."

"My Grandad was admitted to Brook House on the 24th of December and considering what he has gone through I am thrilled with the care and input in the last 2 days - remarkable they really care. The Manager is so supportive and has said he will get my Grandad going back to church - they gave him a Christmas present and he has only been there a day. This means everything to see my grandad happy and the best present I could have had was seeing him and my mum so happy with the placement. I know it is early days but I don't think they can do anything wrong - the staff are so nice and the place is clean and looks like a palace The manager on Christmas day even bought him the Irish Post - brilliant - he was happy reading it and we got video calls made to us yesterday."

"The care home that my dad is in is a wonderful place for him, he is getting all the care he needs. The staff are absolutely great with him, very friendly and kind to my dad, encouraging him to get up out of bed and join in with the activities that are available on that day. He was very clean and tidy. It is such an improvement on the last home he was in."

"I visited my father today at 11:20 am we were able to go up to his room where wonderful carers were helping him out of bed. We took him downstairs after this and went and sat in the pristine garden where we sat down and 2 members from the kitchen brought us out a pot of tea and biscuits. We sat in the garden with my father until lunchtime and he seemed very happy and chatty. We took him back inside and he asked to have his lunch in the dining room. We were able to sit with him during lunch and the kind staff offered us lunch which was appetizing. The facilities were clean and tidy with the staff all having smiles on their faces and treating us kindly."

"As a regular visitor, I am aware of the dedication, respect and care shown to all residents (often staff are unaware that I am visiting an adjoining room when they are offering a first-rate service). Brook House offers a caring, family atmosphere not only to their residents but also to their families - this applies to all the staff. Thank you."

"My aunty is very happy here. She won't leave her room but she still seems okay. She doesn't eat the food, only small pieces of toast and drinks lots of the vitamin drinks provided. She won't take part in any activities, value for money, in her case it's way too much."

The staff are always so caring and understanding of her needs. The food is very good and the dining room and the overall appearance of the home are very welcoming."

"Brook House Care Home was not our choice as my mum was discharged from the hospital to their care. I didn't have enough words to compliment all at Brook House on their standards. The love and care that are shown towards Mum, understanding her needs and accommodating her preferences. There is a lot of warmth from the moment you enter the building to when you leave. I couldn't have chosen a better place myself for my mum to recover. Thank you to all at Brook House Care Home."

"My dad is at Barchester Brook House Care Home and I am so Happy he is to be Honest. The manager and his staff go over and beyond for their residence they really care about the people they care for, God love them. My dad knew it was my big birthday this year and asked the staff and my family could we celebrate in the home? No problem. I can not fault the kindness and love and total dedication Brook House staff have and will go to make the people they care for and their families happy 100%. Your loved ones will be truly cared for by the most amazing and dedicated people. Thank you for putting my point of view forward."

"A care home should be so much more than the bricks that create the structure, and the staff at Brook House get this. After caring for my father at home for 7 years, moving him into a care home was an emotional rollercoaster, but how glad am I that this is where we chose for him. The staff operate like a family and treat the residents and families in the same vein. Attentive, individual and personal care delivered with respect and dignity. To the wonderful ladies and gents who make my father's time at Brook House happy and comfortable, I can't thank you enough. At the helm, you have a care home manager who leads by example. His first priority is always the well-being happiness and safety of his residents and staff. It's obvious to see that he doesn't just work at Brook House, he lives it. Always present, always available and always working hard to maintain the incredibly high standards all lucky enough to have family here have come to expect."

"The care/nursing my father receives is amazing. They have turned things around and helped as much. All of the team are all wonderful people who go the extra mile to help. The home is always clean- the cleaning staff are exceptional. The catering staff provide wonderful food on a daily basis and beautiful party food! The entertainment is great- making their very own flower arrangements for their rooms and sports programme and quizzes which my father love. The laundry man even helps individuals after work. For these reasons, I think Brook House Nursing Home is the best!"

"My overall impression of the care home is good. Friendly staff, the manager is very approachable. The home is clean and never smells of urine. The activities are varied and very good. Clients are taken out on a regular basis especially now they have recruited a new activity person, who obviously enjoys her job. The home is small and has a friendly and personal feel. All in all, I am very happy and feel confident that my father in law is supported and cared for very well."

"The care my brother received at Brook House was exemplary. We could not have found a more conducive environment for his last few months. The staff were well qualified and attentive.

"My mother entered Brook House for respite care for 4 weeks and we have been more than pleased with her care. My mother has advanced dementia and can not to anything for herself, coupled with other ongoing health issues. She has never been in residential care before as she is cared for at home, so I had lots of reservations initially about her entering Brook House. However, the nursing care she has received has been fantastic. The care assistants are attentive and experienced. My mother has been comfortable, well fed and has smiled everyday. In fact, she has begun to interact more with us than she even did at home! I am grateful to Brook House for there care and support at an anxious time for my family. The place is well managed and a friendly environment encouraging open visiting hours for all friends and family of all ages. I would definitely consider using Brook house for future respite."

I was really impressed with Brook House, not just on my first visit but every visit. Not only did the home look after my uncle but also me, at a very difficult time. I can't thank all the staff enough, especially managers, who went above and beyond for my uncle, thank you ..."
