Since my relative’s arrival early this year (2023) the team at Brookfields Private Nursing Home have been welcoming, supportive and inclusive.
My relative has a lovely room which accommodates her own personal possessions making her feel very comfortable and happy.
She highly rates the food and enjoys
going down to eat with other residents at least twice a day.
The care is excellent and personal care is well scheduled and respectful.
Activities are varied and fun and available to all who can associate in a group setting or in their rooms if unable to attend.
My family are so happy to see the change in our relative. We’re confident of her being well looked after at this loving, caring and welcoming home.
This is to the credit of all staff concerned.

A few years ago, my father-in-law was in the home for a brief time before he passed away. We were impressed with all of the aspects of the home that we experienced during that short time. As a result, we were happy to recommend to our friend that she apply for a place at Brookfields. In our opinion,
the Home is still managed very well and it feels comfortable and hygienic as soon as you walk in. The staff are professional, welcoming and helpful and our friend's room is excellent in all respects. Plenty of activities/services are laid on for the residents with a weekly 'Brookfields Bulletin' being produced and distributed accordingly. Meals are very good with the specific need of each resident being duly taken on board. All in all a very positive picture.

My husband has been at the nursing home for five months and he has received excellent care during this time. It was a huge worry for me trying to find the right place for him, but from the moment I went to look at the home, I immediately felt it was the right place for him.
As soon as you walk into
the building, you feel the warm atmosphere and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. The rooms are always kept lovely and clean. The food is freshly cooked to a high standard and if you want anything, in particular, they will try and provide it, given adequate notice. Those residents who enjoy a glass of wine with their meal, only have to ask. The cleaners, carers and nurses have all been wonderful and they all conduct themselves in a professional manner, but also have a laugh with the residents. There are regular activities organised for the residents and birthday cakes are individually made for them. It is these little touches that make this home special.

Mum has been at Brookfields for two weeks today (13th Jan). From day one we have experienced expertise, compassion, empathy and humour. Mum and I have been on that difficult journey with many others. I wish everyone could find somewhere which helps them realise that a care home is not a negative step.
It is wonderful to know Mum is so well cared for and that the responsibility is not all mine. Mum is settling in well. Thank you.

Mum moved into Brookfields in November 2022. She was reluctant to be anywhere other than home, to be honest, but the staff were very kind and supportive and she seems to have settled. Staff are always bright and cheerful when we have met them and that seems to be Mum's experience too. As my husband
and I both went down with Covid just before Christmas, Mum was in Brookfields for Christmas Day ( and New Year's Day) which was sad, but residents had a lovely time with a beautiful meal and a visit from Father Christmas with a gift. Staff were very patient with Mum's procrastination over moving rooms when the one she went in initially didn't suit her, but when she decided she would move, staff kindly relocated her - for which I was very grateful. They also thoughtfully provided a pre-booked Christmas afternoon tea in the lounge (just Mum and three guests), beautifully done, in lieu of a Christmas party, to avoid spreading infection. Well done.

My dad was admitted straight from the hospital and was in a very fragile state, mentally and physically when he arrived. With the team's expert care and patience, they have nursed Dad back to his bright former self in such a short time. We have just celebrated Dad's 90th birthday and we all look forward
to a safe and happy future and Brookfield's.

My dad was transferred recently to Brookfield. From the moment I viewed the home when deciding on where he should go, I was very impressed. From just standing in the entrance it felt warm and welcoming. The Matron is lovely and listens to worries and concerns and genuinely wants to make my dad's stay
comfortable. The staff we've met in the first week are all lovely, his room is cosy and warm. The food choices are great and always smell delicious, I think it is slowly bringing my dad's appetite back. I highly recommend this home.

Mum moved into Brookfields a month ago, from hospital. I was worried about the whole residential home scenario but need not have worried. Mum is very well cared for and treated with dignity and respect. The staff are fabulous and the home, absolutely spotless. So cosy and welcoming. The food is excellent.
Mum is always wearing her own clothes and always looks clean and cared for. Thank you, to the whole team, for treating my mum so well. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for nursing care in this area.

Mum came to Brookfields 2 months ago and on behalf of the family, I can say that we are all really happy with our choice of nursing home. Mum has been thrilled with the staff, the care, attention and meals. There is a wonderful family atmosphere amongst the staff and with the residents. Everyone is
happy and content. The facilities are of an excellent standard and there is always an interesting variety of activities and events going on for the residents and staff. We couldn't have wished for a better home for our mum. Thank you all so much!

We moved my father to Brookfields from another residential home, as we wanted him to be in an environment where he could build a rapport with consistent staff and they could develop a long-term bond with him, and us. Since his arrival in August, the staff have been lovely and cared for him with the
level of respect and affection we wanted for him. I feel a weight lifted, knowing they are caring for him properly and that he is happy. If you are looking for an environment with experienced and consistent staff, who will go that extra mile for their residents, who are also there to support and reassure relatives, all with a sprinkling of good humour, Brookfields exemplifies this.

My mother is a fairly new resident, the difference is amazing. She's eating and drinking again, which she hadn't done for a number of weeks previously. The care is second to none and I cannot praise the staff enough. Mum is always clean and very well cared for. Her room is spotless, as is the rest of
the home, cleaned every day. More like a hotel than a care home.

Dad spent his last six months in the very professional care of Brookfields Private Nursing Home and was very happy here. The nurses and carers are wonderful and with their professional devotion and patience dad rallied. Their care and attention gave us those extra months together that we may not have
otherwise had and I for this cannot thank them enough. I was always made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble if we needed anything. I highly recommend Brookfields Private Nursing Home very much.

Following a fall at home, we urgently needed to look for a nursing home for Mum, as she was unable to get back on her feet. Having lived in the area all our lives, we knew of the reputation of Brookfields Private Nursing Home and couldn't believe they had space available and were also able to accommodate
Mum with her dementia. From the minute she arrived, she was treated like the Queen and whilst she spent most of her time in her room she used to tell me how cosy it was, which is how she used to describe her sitting room at home, so I knew she was happy. All the staff had time for Mum and would always be popping in and out to check she was ok or to spend some time with her. The whole team were amazing, not just looking after Mum but us as well. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a very emotional time and they understood and empathised with that. Sadly, Mum's stay only lasted a few months, but we cannot recommend Brookfields highly enough - if needed, I would gladly move in tomorrow!

We needed to find nursing care for Mum urgently. Having been recommended Brookfields Private Nursing Home, we were so lucky that space became available. During her stay, she was made to feel most welcome by the friendly and efficient nursing and other staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt part
of the Brookfields family. It's a home away from home. Would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.922 for Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (454 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 490 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd is based on 42 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 42 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.

Job Title: Registered Nurse

Joined: 2018

I have always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. I trained in Derby in 1988 at the age of 17 which was the soonest I could train at both the DRI and City Hospital. I qualified in 1991 and went on to work in a local nursing home. Over the 29 years I have worked as a nurse or manager in local homes, I found the best one (Brookfields) in August 2018.
