Would be useful to have a board with all the staff pictures and their role.
Not sure who is in charge on each staff.
Would be good to highlight each day.
My mum is very happy in the home and just says she sometimes is waiting too long for a reply to her buzzer requests.
Lovely atmosphere and pleasant
staff.

My mother has been living at Brookview Care Home for almost 4 years and I am impressed with the overall standard provided. Care, support and treatment have been excellent with staff and management always 'going the extra mile'. I have found the 2 rooms she has occupied to be clean and well maintained.
My mother constantly praises the staff, she is happy and never complains about the food. When she first arrived she really enjoyed the activities but is now no longer able to take part. Safety and security have recently been improved and I am more confident about her health and safety at Brookview. I would highly recommend this care home.

My mother has been living at Brookview for a year and a half. During this time there have been many improvements to the decor and furnishings. The level of care and attention has been excellent, the staff genuinely care, not only for her medical needs but her happiness. She interacts and enjoys the
activities on offer and I have peace of mind over her wellbeing.

Brookview was the first care home I visited when I needed somewhere for my mum. I knew instantly I loved the place - the staff were lovely and I sensed a 'family' atmosphere.
My instincts proved me right and my mum is really settled here.
She loves the food, entertainment and the fact that the staff
pick up instantly if she has a medical problem. This gives me peace of mind too, knowing she is well cared for.

When my aunt first entered Brookview, the decor was a little shabby but now it's very bright with different colours and things to look at. I find the staff very friendly, caring and I'm so pleased my aunt is cared for so very well.

My father has been resident at Brookview since July 2017. In that time his general health and wellbeing have improved considerably. The care, attention and support given by Brookview have all made this possible.
The staff are very friendly and attentive. There is a very high standard of vigilance re
health and wellbeing. The environment is clean and well decorated. The laundry service is excellent.

Brookview is a friendly and approachable care home who's staff show genuine concern for the needs of my mum, she has been living there since December 2017.
I have peace of mind knowing she is safe and her health conditions are monitored and managed well.


Communication between the home and myself

is easy and any queries or requests have been met.


Recently newly decorated, Brookview feels homely and a lot of effort has been put into furnishings and comfort, activities are arranged as well as regular entertainment afternoons.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.014)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.014) out of 10 for Brookview Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.097 for Brookview Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.097

  • 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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brookview Nursing Home is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917

  • 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.
