Mum came to Brook House Care Centre in February 2024 and has received the best care possible. All the staff are absolutely brilliant and take great care of my mum. Every single member of staff takes time to talk to her as they pass by. The entertainment is amazing and Mum joins in most activities. She
has settled in very well and is very happy at Brook House. As a family, we thank everyone at the care home for all that they do.

On my first visit to Brook House, before my wife was admitted, I was given a tour of all of the facilities and met some of the staff. Everywhere was clean and tidy, especially the kitchen.
The thing I noticed most was the friendliness of every single member of staff.
Already, I felt comfortable,
and after talking to the nursing staff and the manager, I was confident that this was the right place for my wife.
She moved into Brook House on 6th April 2023. I was surprised at how quickly and easily she settled in.
I always get a warm welcome from the staff, and they always give me an update on her behaviour and activities.
I can say without any doubt whatsoever that every member of the Brook House staff that I have met, the receptionist, the office staff, the maintenance men, the cooks, the nurses, the carers, the activities staff and the cleaners and of course the managers have always been friendly, caring, happy, helpful, obliging and very professional.

My mum went into hospital expecting to die. The manager and deputy manager visited my mum in hospital. Mum was eventually discharged with a place, plan and the home almost threw a party to have her back. My mum is still going and is lovingly cared for every day including being fed and changed. She has
been at Brook House since August 2019 and is visited by all the staff who she calls all by the same name. All the staff love the residents and ensure that families are kept informed and are made a part of the Brook House family. Wonderful team, wonderful care, wonderful experience.

From the first point of contact on looking around on day one, we cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Brook House. We were hesitant of moving our mum from home into a care home but our concerns were unfounded. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, visits were made easy. They showed our
mum dignity and respect and she was always safe and clean. They really cared when she passed away, they were dignified and respectful. Thank you.

The overall care home is a pleasant place to visit. It could do with brightening up in some places. It is very warm in the rooms and the management team and admin staff are excellent, very helpful and polite.

My mother has received wonderful care from the staff. When Mother entered the home she was not eating or drinking and was losing weight. Since then Mum has been eating well and drinking normally. The staff take time to speak to Mum, are always gentle with her. They always keep me informed of any changes
that will affect my mother. I could not have asked for a better home.

I think the home is under-resourced. Coordination with the palliative care team could be improved.

The care home and staff are very good. They look after my husband very well. I know he is getting the best care from all the staff. They take care of his every need, and myself and my son know he's in the best care home. All the staff are kind and caring. We are happy because we know he's happy.

The staff are very kind and caring towards my mum. The home's approach/response to the pandemic has been outstanding. Communication with relatives is efficient and appropriate. My mum seems very calm here at Brooke House, considering her complex needs. Reception/finance and admin staff, are also very
approachable and caring.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.652)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.652) out of 10 for Brook House Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.814 for Brook House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 3.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brook House Care Centre is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.338

  • 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.
