Excellent care home, all the staff are so nice in the care of my relative, all very tuned into her needs and treat her with great care and empathy. All areas of the home are always clean and tidy with everybody joining in with activities. Bedrooms are lovely and can be filled with resident's own belongings
to make them feel more at home. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

After being discharged several times by the hospital as medically fit (which she might of been) was not physically fit. The stay at Brooklyn House was part of a care package and from the very first minutes, the staff had taken control as the discharge from hospital had been incorrect. Once the period
of settling in, confidence, strength and rehabilitation was quickly established. The staff were all very attentive and caring. It was a very happy atmosphere and helped a great deal in the rehabilitation and return home.

From owners to maintenance man, everyone gets involved and delivers a very personal service to their "guests". I am a regular visitor and am treated with the same care and interest as the Brooklyn House "guests" receive throughout their stay.

From the moment my husband was placed in the care of Brooklyn House, my fears were erased. The staff took the time to explain the whole process and show me around. They take exceptional care of my husband and all the residents under their care.

My dad was at Brooklyn House for respite and was treated so well by staff, as was I. The staff were so down to earth, friendly and caring. Sadly he died whilst there but was really well cared for in his final days and would want to thank staff for all their efforts. All of the staff also supported me
magnificently well after I lost him and their kindness knew no bounds.

Dear Gale, thank you so much for giving us the chance to care for Dad. It was an honour and he'll truly be missed by all at Brooklyn House.

Our mother originally was a resident for respite care, but we decided that her care would continue as she was so well looked after. She was always kept clean and the staff always tried their hardest to make sure all of her needs were met. Mum was unable to feed herself so the staff liquidised her food
and fed her. Brooklyn House was always clean and never smelled. The rooms were nicely decorated and staff were always friendly and approachable. Our mother was in hospital for 2 months before going to Brooklyn House as she had a bad fall, she then went for respite care as she was so poorly after her fall when she was discharged from hospital. Unfortunately, our mother passed away due to deteriorating vascular dementia, but we would have continued to have her in Brooklyn House if this had not happened.

It was a pleasure and honour caring for Mum and she'll be truly missed by all at Brooklyn House.

When mum came to Brooklyn House she was taken care of very well, the staff were fantastic. Could be a bit warmer on colder days.
Overall I'm happy.

Reply from Jilesh Patel, Owner at Brooklyn House

Thank you very much for your review which is highly appreciated. We always try our best to make improvements where possible.
Our heating system we have improved now and installed more radiators in the communal areas as well as increased the temperature as the days are getting colder to ensure our residents are comfortable.

Over the extended period of time, I have always found the management very helpful and willing to assist. The staff and helpers are kind and understanding. The food has always looked good and well presented in the right manner very professional.
The only slight criticism I have is sometimes the tidiness
and the cleaning of the room needs improving. However, I and my sister are satisfied with the care home and would like to thank them for their care and support.

My father has been a resident at Brooklyn House for a year. The staff are truly amazing and they keep us well informed and are a lovely bunch of kind people. It's not the Ritz but it's clean and that's all you need.

The staff at Brooklyn House have been so very helpful and accommodating to my dad. They are friendly and treat my dad with dignity. When visiting they are always on hand for a chat.
The manager is very understanding and open to conversation with us. Four members of staff are amazing and as a family,
we are very happy.

The staff at Brooklyn House have been very accommodating. Understandably having a loved one not around you every day is extremely hard. However, the care and attention given to my grandad have helped to build trust between this care home and our family. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and for
looking after our grandad.

Our cousin was made very welcome on arrival. The staff showed great patience with a, sometimes, difficult resident.
The management kept us fully appraised of our cousin's condition at all times. We were consulted on care matters and included in decision making for which we were very grateful.

As a family, we have found the staff of Brooklyn Care home to be brilliant. Both in care of Mum and also their dealings with members of the family. We have the utmost appreciation for all that has been done whilst mum is in the Home. The care these last few weeks has been exceptional. My deepest thanks
for all that has been done and you are doing these days.

Since my mother has been staying at Brooklyn House, she has been looked after extremely well. Mum settled very well and is always saying how lovely the food is also how kind and helpful the staff are towards her, I have always been kept up to date with everything for which I appreciate very much, also
every time I have called in to see mum the staff have always been very polite and helpful. I would certainly recommend Brooklyn House for looking after your loved ones.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Brooklyn House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.956 for Brooklyn House is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.956

  • b) 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brooklyn House is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • ii) 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
