Reviews for Brookfield Care Home

"Mum stayed at Brookfield Care Home from July for 4 months following a fire at home. The standards of cleanliness, décor, the rooms, shared spaces, hair salon and the menu are 1st class! (Yes, they have a three-course, breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, plus snacks in between) This care home is more like a 5-star hotel. But most importantly we were blown away by the level of care by the staff. A particular member of staff and her team made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to help Mum settle. Here she has gained friendships with other residents and staff. She's been involved in exercise classes, watched concerts by local schools and taken part in activities. Even her mobility has improved whilst she's been here. The goal was always to get Mum back home again, but having the support of the mentioned staff member and her team has made Mum's situation so much more stress-free. We as a family can't thank Brookfield Care Home enough. They've been amazing!"

"My mother-in-law went to live at Brookfield in July, and what can I say, this place is amazing, it's clean, always smells lovely when you walk in, and the staff are just wonderful, they go above and beyond to take care of all the residents, and when you visit, you feel so welcome too, always fresh cakes, biscuits or snacks available, tea and coffee station so you can help yourself. I keep saying I'll book myself in for a week, it really does have a great relaxing vibe. My mother-in-law has said how happy and safe she feels to be somewhere where nothing is too much trouble for the people caring for her, this is high praise indeed from her. Thank you, Brookfield; you really are making a difference, and I for one, can't rate you highly enough."

"What a terrific home. A home that makes my grandma happy. The staff are welcoming, friendly and fun, like stepping into a "home", as it should be. The staff are committed and go up and beyond to help residents and visitors alike The home is clean, comfy, cosy and is dignity personified. Would highly recommend Brookfield House. Thank you each and every one of you."

"My mother moved permanently into Brookfield last month (January 2016) and has settled in very well. She's happy, relaxed and animated, enjoying the company and conversation of both fellow residents and staff. The home is cosy and comfortable and the food is of a very high standard. The staff members without exception are kind, friendly and caring. Having a full time activities coordinator with different activities taking place every day is a huge bonus."

"This is a lovely home at any time you visits. Staff are thorough, attentive and treat all residents as individuals. Residents are occupied with a variety of activities and events and no-one is ever left out. Working with older people myself and having visited numerous homes i can honestly say this is one of the best. I would have no hesitation in recommending it. I am so pleased my Grandma is settled here such a relief for me my family. All boxes ticked in all areas."

"My 96 year old Mother has been cared for in this phenomenal care home for 7 months. When my sister-in-law needed 24hr care we brought her from the West Midlands to a beautiful room on the ground floor. The Manager and Assistant Manager welcomed her and we were in no doubt that they would get her mobility back. Within a day she was receiving her first physiotherapy treatment. The carers are so patient and nothing is too much trouble. She is receiving wonderful care and is happy."

"I visit the home once a month to visit a friend. She is always clean and tidy and very happy. She tells me what she has been doing and making and if she has been out and about. My friend enjoys walks around the garden and the wildlife. The garden is kept lovely. She tells me the food is good too."

"Mother has been in Brookfield House for 2 years now and she is 93 years old. She settled in fairly quickly as the staff are very friendly. Mum looks forward to and always enjoys her meals as the quality of food, cooking and presentation is excellent. I make a special mention of the activities co-ordinator at Brookfield. She has a wonderful sunny disposition and tried to engage all residents in a wide range of activities. She is really caring. Lastly, I must mention that the home is always very clean and fresh smelling."

"At present, my mother visits the home three days a week with a view to full-time care in the future. On her first visit, I was impressed by the friendliness and welcome of the staff. Six months later my mother has made several friends and enjoys the many activities that are planned for the residents. I have always found the staff very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble no matter how busy they are. The office is always open for a chat and I appreciate the concern and understanding the management have for the relatives as well as the wellbeing of the residents. I know Barchester Brookfield House Care is the right choice for the future and I am grateful for this reassurance."

"My mother entered Brookfield Care Home and (sadly) exited there on the 11th May after passing away on the 10th May. I cannot commend the level of care and support that my mum received from all the staff and fellow residents. Thank you Broomfield. You made my mum's last days there the very best she could have hoped for."

"I'm a thirty-nine-year-old man and growing old can feel very daunting but after spending time with my grandma in this lovely place I feel a lot more reassured about my later years. I would highly recommend this place, by far the best care home I've ever been in. The food is excellent and care is first class."

"Just got home from visiting our Mum at Brookfield and was delighted to see that anyone who wanted to go was being taken out for Sunday afternoon tea. This made a lovely change for the residents and the Entertainments 'officer' plus other members of staff were going about this in their usual professional and cheerful way. Hope you all had a lovely time!"

"My mum needed respite care after breaking her ankle. She is 88 and lives independently, still drives and has a good social life. She was treated with good humour and dignity. The activities are varied and residents aren't forced to participate. The staff treated all residents as individuals and made visiting as easy as possible. The only downside is lack of parking at times. I have already recommended Brookfield to a family friend."

"My mother-in-law has now been a resident for nearly three years. From the first day of arriving to the present day, she has received excellent care and love from the remarkable team at Brookfield. If anyone is in the process of sourcing care for a loved one, I would say to them look no further as in my view, they will not find more dedicated staff than there is at Brookfield."

"Brookfield Care home has succeeded in providing an environment where my 90-year-old Mother in Law has been able to settle into a new way of life dictated to her by events. Over the past year, she has had to get used to being uprooted from her own home and leave the city she has lived in all her life. Thanks to the patience and care of all the staff involved in the potentially fraught process, she has made this transition better than expected. Chatting to one of her carers one morning made me realise how joined up the whole operation is from management, care, staff, laundry staff, catering and general maintenance people. She is contented and considers herself a very lucky lady!"

"When my mother arrived at Brookfields for respite care she was unable to do much herself but was looked after by the staff with both professionalism and compassion. Over the following weeks and months my mother has improved beyond recognition. The food is well prepared and variable and there is always some activity to look forward to."

Exceptional meal choices, high standard of food - very person-centred - always very clean and tidy - fresh flowers each week - myself and all my family have been welcomed on each visit - appears to be very original - staff go out of their way to be of assistance to residents and visitors - very approachable."

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. There is a good choice of activities. As my mother told them when she left, it is 'home from home'. Thank you."

"My mother has been at the home for approximately 18 months and has had excellent care. Staff are helpful and friendly and look after all her medical needs. Prior to going into care, she had a series of falls. Since going in, she has had only one, which was addressed and her health seems to be improving every time I visit."

"Mother has settled in since her last evaluation. She seems at peace and that is due to the stability of her care and the extra attention that the staff can give. She seems content and secure. It is gratifying to know she is in good care when you are not with her. Long may this last whilst her health remains."

"From entering the home - welcome, offered a cup of tea, brought a chair to me to sit with the resident I was visiting. All staff engaged with me and residents in such a friendly manner. The home was spotless - beautiful surroundings, photos - very clean, friendly and 'homely' feeling. Where I have not given a rating is because I did not use any of these facilities/visit room etc."

"We were fortunate when a place became available for my dad to stay in the home from August 2023. The home is clean and always has a pleasant smell when we visit. It feels more like a hotel! The staff are lovely despite sometimes being extremely busy! My dad enjoyed a visiting singer a few weeks ago so it would be lovely if these type of activities were organised regularly. I am extremely grateful for the care that the staff provide - thank you for looking after him!"

As soon as I walked into the building, it felt like home. It has a lovely, cosy feel to it and made my dad feel at ease from day one. The staff have been very caring and helpful which has really helped us with this difficult decision. Thank you to everyone who works there and continues to care for him."

The staff are very caring, helpful and always keeping their guests in a happy and comfortable manner. I have witnessed on every visit how caring and professional staff behave with all of their guests, and I am more than satisfied with my dad's care, and I know he is too!

"My father had two weeks of respite care in May 2023, whilts I went on holiday. He soon settled into the care and really enjoyed himself, so much so that he didn't want to come out. On the 3rd of July, he went back into the home as a permanent resident; he soon settled in again. The home is immaculate, food excellent, and most important, the staff are all first class. It has taken a big weight off my shoulders."

"Have been so lucky to find this care home for my respite care after having a hip replacement. It is near my daughter who lives in Warrington so easy for her to see me. The staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble. They do work so hard and treat those with memory problems with such respect. Just one suggestion a larger dishwasher when they serve meals so staff can focus on patients, not pots!"
