My mother-in-law was placed at the Jasmine Unit of Brook Lodge in April of this year. Not being able to visit due to the COVID-19 situation made it very challenging especially for our mum and the family as a whole.
The Jasmine Unit staff found a way for us see and communicate with Mum through glass
windows into a sun lounge while we remained outside. Then we got to see her in person on a visit to hospital. We could see from her appearance, her hair, and her skin, that she is being well cared for.
It's extremely difficult for someone going into care for the first time and the staff have helped walk Mum through this journey to a place where she is now settling into her new environment. Throughout this time, the staff have kept us up-to-date with Mum’s state of mind and requirements for her every need.
We appreciate so much the dedicated work the Jasmine Unit have undertaken through this period and would like to say a very big THANK YOU.

My dad was one of the first to go into Brook Lodge when it first opened. He has said he cannot fault the home i.e. the care and compassion is excellent. In fact he’s doing really well and his sense of humour has returned. In short, he’s happy and settled. If anything wasn’t right he would definitely
be able to tell me.

My father was admitted to Brook Lodge only a month ago but has settled in really quickly and is happy. He is full of praise for all of the staff and for the care he receives. I initially visited with my daughter and we were both immediately impressed by the very friendly, happy atmosphere and the care
that was taken to answer all of our questions, even going as far as ensuring that my father could have a room right next to the lounge to cater for his particular needs. My father, who is 94, had lived independently until a recent fall so to settle in so quickly is a testament to the treatment, consideration and kindness he has received from all staff.
Everywhere is beautifully clean and his room has its ensuite, including a wet room shower facility, which is not only very convenient but also ensures that a high degree of privacy and personal dignity are maintained. He is able to choose whether to be in his room or in a communal area which he appreciates. The food menu is good and varied.

My father has been at Brook Lodge since November 2018, after looking at several other care homes in the area, we decided that by far Brook Lodge was the best. My father is very happy there and has settled in very well. The staff are all very very caring and considerate and nothing ever appears to be
to much trouble.

Excellent rehabilitation stay following long stay in hospital prior to moving to a permanent home. Staff were incredibly caring and supportive. My Mother really benefitted from the care and attention and was very happy there.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.009)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 8.0 (8.009) out of 10 for Brook Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.486 for Brook Lodge is calculated as follows:
(
(22 Excellents x 5)
+
(9 Goods x 4)
+
(3 Satisfactorys x 3)
+
(1 Poors x 2)
)
÷ 35 Ratings = 4.486
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 3.523 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brook Lodge is based on 3 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
= 3.25
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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.273
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.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
