Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We looked around virtually every nursing home in the area before making the decision to take Dad to Brooklands. The first priority was to find one where the staff seemed good and the residents happy. At Brooklands, the lady in the office, who was very nice and helpful, and only too willing to show
us around the home. She also introduced us to a few other members of staff along the way.


What swung decision was the cleanliness and the total lack of smell. Nearly all the homes smelled of urine, but not Brooklands, everything was fresh and clean. It was also modern, bright and airy. It was November when we first looked around and we were blown away by the impressive display of poppies, which we were told had been made by the residents.


We would rather have kept Dad at home, but as we couldn't I can honestly say that Brooklands was the best choice. All of the staff from the Manager to the cleaners were absolutely brilliant.

From the moment the family looked around the home, the staff could not have been better. The level of care and assistance was second to none and made a very unpleasant experience that bit more bearable. His room was more than adequate and gave him dignity in his final days.
I would recommend the home
to anyone else experiencing this and would like to say a huge thank you to the brilliant staff, especially the manager as without them, we would have really struggled. Thank you all.

My father was resident here for 2 weeks end of life care. The management and staff could not have been kinder and more efficient in their care and consideration. Nothing was too much trouble.
I could not have wished for any better treatment of Dad as he came to the end of his life.

I placed my father into Brooklands Care Home for his end of life care. As it happened that was for just short of two weeks. The level of care my father received was excellent all the way up to the end of his life.

The place is really looked after and my partner is looked after very well too with kindness and respect.

In July, the family had to make the difficult decision to place our mother in a nursing home. We visited three locally and our first choice was Brooklands, fortunately, they had a place and were able to take our mother immediately. She was welcomed warmly and since that time we and my mother have nothing
but praise for the staff who she continually tells me are very kind.
The staff take the time to pop in and speak to her. She is much improved in both her health and well being which I put down to the care she is being given and as she tells me she now feels safe.

The care given at this care home is excellent and love, dignity and comfort given by all cannot be ignored, as a daughter, these things are important, to trust your loved ones to someone elses care means a lot. This home is well run and clean and comfortable for residents and people visiting, nothing
is too much trouble- staff are very friendly. My mother had a lot of help with personal care and her dignity was upheld always, nurses, carers, cleaners, cooks, everyone are the best in this care home.

Since it became apparent my dads care needs had increased, I chose Brooklands. Since then his needs have increased as his dementia has deteriorated. The lady in the office has been so helpful and kind and the staff in the Brooklyn unit are all fabulous, so caring and conscientious. The residential rooms
are lovely and the whole place is bright and clean.
It was an emotional decision to move dad from my home into a care home but I don't believe I could've made a better choice.

I have been in a few care homes over the years, and this is head and shoulders above the others. The care, gentleness, kindness, genuine interest in my mum, and all others exceeds my expectations. Well run, organised. If won the lotto I would give the staff here half of it.

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.
