Dad moved into Brockenhurst because his Alzheimers caused him to have behavioural problems.


Every member of staff at Brockenhurst cared for dad with respect, kindness and great affection. This resulted in a substantial decrease of his anxiety and overall calmer behaviour.


My family will always

be grateful to all the staff at Brockenhurst for looking after dad so well and for making us all welcome to visit anytime and for the tea and biscuits.

My mother has been a resident at Brockenhurst since March 2016. I have never seen her happier. She suffers from dementia but is cared for by all the staff at Brockenhurst with love and care.


Please look beyond furnishings etc. The staff make this home a happy place to be. They are patient, hard

working, very caring, knowledgeable and know each resident well.

Forget the QCA results, this home is lovely. Every time I visit, my mother is always happy and the staff are very attentive.


I was worried about my mother going into a home but since she has been at Brockenhurst, I realise it is the best place for her and I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else.

They look after her so well.

I currently live abroad so wanted a care home that I could completely trust and visit at any time when I am in the UK. Brockenhurst is run in a very caring and professional manner. All the staff, from the top down, are extremely sensitive towards the residents' needs.


My mum preferred to stay

in her room a lot of the time which was respected and the staff made regular checks to ensure she was happy, well fed and drinking regularly. My mum lived there over a year and whenever I visited I was greeted by the same staff members. I felt this was important as they built a genuine rapport/friendship with the residents.


Personally, I could not fault Brockenhurst and the staff there. It was a real comfort to me, knowing my Mum was in a safe, caring community.

The owner/manager and all staff have proven themselves to be totally committed to providing very good care to their clients. Although I can only refer specifically to my cousin - who - as an Alzheimer's sufferer had been cared for by 'Brockenhurst' over the last 11 years. All of their clients that
one comes into contact with, support the statement. Unfortunately, my cousin recently passed away and the respect shown to me by the management and staff that I had contact with at this time, has been faultless. It happens that some years ago, I had an issue with my cousin where ultimately I had to take to the Court of Protection (nothing, I hasten to add, to do with the Care home or staff) however, the whole team at 'Brockenhurst' went 'above and beyond the call of duty' to assist me and in so doing to protect my cousin. They are a very dedicated team and my thanks go out to all of them.

The matron is extremely helpful. Staff always aware of where people are and what they have eaten/done. Staff are always kind and helpful and pleasant. Residents are treated kindly and with respect. A great place for EMI patients.

My mother was a resident for four years in Brockenhurst care home before she died peacefully in July 2016. As a family, we found the care given to our Mum absolutely superb during this time. The staff were always attentive, respectful and caring of our mother and were also incredibly supportive to us
as a family whenever we visited. My mum enjoyed the fun activities provided within the home and was well nourished by the wonderfully tasty home cooked food. There are three trained nurses in our family and we all cannot express our gratitude for the very high standard of end of life care that was given to our lovely Mum during the last four days of her life by all the staff. Thank you so much to you all.

My mother was a resident in Brockenhurst for almost 9 years. After 3 years she was doubly incontinent and needed everything done for her. Eventually, she was completely bedridden. She had severe dementia and at all times during her 9 years stay, she was treated with dignity, gentleness and the carers
took everything in their stride. I would definitely recommend Brockenhurst.

When Mum's condition deteriorated we moved her from another, well respected care home to Brockenhurst.
She was significantly happier at Brockenhurst, settled in very quickly and was provided with a warm and loving home for her last few years. I am happy that she had the best possible quality of life
as a result of the move.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Brockenhurst is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.654 for Brockenhurst is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.654

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brockenhurst is based on 10 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
