Since my father-in-law moved into Brooklands Care Home, he has become more sociable and outgoing. The staff are great with him and always pleasant to talk to. He is pleased with his room and enjoys the food provided. There has been an improvement in him since he moved into Brooklands which we are pleased
to see.

Delighted to have found my father a space at this wonderful facility. A real home from home. Brooklands Care Home has a friendly, family feel. Staff are very attentive to his specific needs and I can see that Dad feels relaxed and happy. He says he feels well looked after and he is enjoying the food,
facilities and company of the other residents. It has provided me with peace of mind knowing Dad is well looked after. Thanks to all the wonderful staff!

My grandad came into Brooklands for respite for 2 weeks, the staff were lovely and very welcoming to my grandad and he was well looked after and he really enjoyed his stay there, he loved the staff and he was very grateful for the help they gave him and he really enjoyed the food there he did say it
was better than my nan's cooking.
Thank you once again to all the staff at Brooklands for taking care of my grandad we appreciate everything you did for him.

My mum was a resident at Brooklands Care Home for 18 months. From the first day she moved in I felt reassured she would be happy living there. Each member of staff from the cleaners to the carers, nursing team, cook, one member of staff in particular in the office were very welcoming to my mum and
our family too. We were kept updated each time we visited on my mum's health and well-being. We cannot thank them enough for the care and support they always demonstrated.
My mum sadly passed away in May from dementia. My mum's dignity was always considered.
We cannot recommend the care home highly enough. Two members of staff in particular do an amazing job along with their team of amazing staff. I take comfort in knowing my mum spent the last months of her life being cared for by that kind, caring, wonderful and happy team.

Thank you again for the wonderful recommendation and have a lovely day.

The care home is very good, the rooms are very nice, and the food is excellent. The staff are helpful and attentive and look after my mother very well.
The home provides numerous activities, unfortunately, my mother refuses "to join in" with the other residents. She has always been a bit of a loner.
It is her loss because there are so many activities she would enjoy.

My brother has been in Brooklands Care Home for over a year and has benefitted from the experience. His needs are being well met and he has fostered good relationships with the staff. He has maintained a positive outlook on life and this is due, to no small degree, to the people he has come into contact
with. We are pleased with most aspects of the home and hope that he will continue to have a pleasant experience.

Brooklands Care Home have been good with my dad. He’s been in there for four weeks now, and the care he receives is amazing. They can’t do enough for him and us... the communication between them, myself and my sister is really good; they update us every time we go or over the phone. It feels like home-from-home
for him. I would recommend Brooklands to anyone.

Staff got to know Mum very quickly and were kind and friendly. They helped Mum become familiar with the routine, giving her a choice to stay in her room or join the other residents in one of the communal areas which were clean and nicely decorated. Mum enjoyed the food and was never short of drinks
and snacks being offered. Special thanks must be given to the medical team who were excellent: taking time to understand Mum's health needs and ensuring they were all addressed. We would like to send a big thank you to everyone at Brooklands.

The staff are very helpful and they treated Mum with compassion, respect and great care. As Mum's Alzheimer's became worse they became her family and they made her time there as comfortable and reassuring as they possibly could. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anybody who has a need for
a relative.

Our mother was admitted firstly to Brooklands for respite, in or around August of this year for two weeks, when us four daughters were struggling to cope with Mum being at home, after being diagnosed with Vascular dementia and Alzheimer's earlier on this year. Unfortunately, through the hot spell that
we had Mum got very poorly and was admitted to hospital and after this rocky spell, it was deemed that Mum could no longer be at home on her own. We had no hesitation but to seek Mum a place back in Brooklands, straight away. Mum settled down very quickly again. She has got a lovely set of friends and we can now rest, assured that she is safe and well looked after. Obviously, we all have teething problems, but any concerns that we have had, have been discussed and they are more than happy to work with us to find a solution. Mum has a lovely room and to top it off, she says the food is fantastic! Thank you to all staff, we feel very lucky.

I have been a resident for 15 years. Luckily then, my sister had worked with the care homes bosses and put me in touch and I have since enjoyed a most pleasurable time. I couldn't have found a nicer and more caring staff. There have been a few minor hiccups, but nothing too daunting. I would recommend
Brooklands, highly.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Brooklands Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.716 for Brooklands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 Brooklands Care Home is based on 15 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
