From our first approach to visit Brookfields to arrange a rapid discharge from hospital, the staff were welcoming and reassuring. We were immediately able to relax for the first time in weeks and feel Mum would be well cared for in an environment that felt homely rather than institutional. The food was amazing, all home cooked. Mum put on weight and had her difficult allergy managed immediately so she could and wanted to eat. All the staff were caring, and friendly and did what they could to keep Mum comfortable with appropriate equipment. The place was spotless and the laundry also immaculate. Medical staff were called when appropriate and weekly visits from the attached advanced nurse practitioner was really useful too. There were plenty of activities for those who wanted with a weekly paper quiz sheet for those unable to leave their own room. All the little touches made the difference. You couldn't do better than Brookfields for care be it residential or end of life nursing care.

My aunt was diagnosed with terminal cancer and moved to Brookfields Private Nursing Home Ltd for end-of-life care in November. We chose the home as my father was in there for end-of-life care in February 2018 and the care had been excellent. The home is beautiful. The staff are superb, they make you feel very welcome and are so kind and caring to the residents. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone requiring nursing care.

Your home was recommended by a family member. My father has been with you since August 2024. The care he receives is of a very high standard, the staff are all welcoming and friendly. They deal with all nursing care issues in a professional manner. My father was very reluctant to go into a care setting but he and myself couldn't wish for a better home, which is family run and would recommend this home to any other members of our family if the circumstances arise.

After a very quick change in circumstances with my mum's care, luckily Brookfield Private Nursing Home was able to give the care my mum now needs. From the moment you enter, you immediately feel the warmth from the team. They are professional but most importantly, for me, is the genuine affection they have for the residents. Lovely, spotless surroundings filled with lots of activities, special organised events all done with a smile. My siblings and I feel that, most importantly, our mum is safe, is made comfortable and cared for by a team of familiar faces. There would be no hesitation in recommending Brookfield to anyone that is going through this process for either themselves or a loved one.

My friend moved to Brookfields Private Nursing Home with her husband several years ago and they both had excellent care from day one. After his death, the care and compassion shown to her have been second to none. This care has undoubtedly prolonged her life. As well as my friend, my mother and uncle also spent time at Brookfields at the end of their lives. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their kindness at what was a difficult time. The nursing care was exemplary and every care was taken to ensure that they were comfortable. Not only are residents made welcome at Brookfields, so are the families of residents. In my opinion, it is a very special place.

From the moment my mum came to Brookfields, I knew she was in good and safe hands! The staff can't do enough for you. The best way to describe it is a 5-star hotel. The food is all fresh and made with care. Really appreciate everything they have done for my mum. Thank you everybody at Brookfields Private Nursing Home.

From the day we came to view this beautiful care home, which was recommended to us by the daughter of a resident, we have been really impressed with the quality of care our mum is getting. The standards are high and this reflects on all of the excellent staff. Thank you all.

We had to find a nursing home for my dad following his release from hospital and after visiting a few, we were pleased to find Brookfields Private Nursing Home. We've been delighted at the cleanliness of the home and the friendliness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always happy to help with any queries or requests we have.

Came into Brookfields Private Nursing Home for respite care when I needed cataracts removed. Liked the atmosphere, helpful staff and asked if I could become a permanent resident.

I had to find a care home for end-of-life care for my partner. From the moment I spoke to the care home, having tried at least 20 others, I knew it was the right one. The management and staff without exception are wonderful, kind, and caring and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a friendly home where the well-being of the resident is a top priority.

I visited nine other care homes in search of places for both my parents. It was such a relief to walk into the hallway of Brookfields Private Nursing Home and know I had found such a warm, friendly, well-decorated, welcoming place for them both, at last. 'Homely' is our overriding feeling, now my parents have been there for the past month. The staff are caring and considerate and always friendly. My parents are now settled and content with their 'new home'. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone; the chef, the handymen, the cleaning staff and the care staff. They all work in a friendly, positive atmosphere. The staff work hard with activities to keep the residents busy! The chef is skilled and inventive and my dad particularly is enjoying foods he has not had the pleasure of for years!

I transferred my wife to Brookfields Private Nursing Home in April 2024 because I have family living in Etwall Derbyshire. It has turned out to be the best decision I have made for her care. The management and staff have made us both so welcome and go out of their way to make us feel part of the large family they have created with all of the residents.

From the minute I went into Brookfields I knew it was the place for our mum, fortunately she was only there for just under a week, but the care and compassion by the staff to Mum and myself and sister was outstanding. The staff at Brookfields could not have done more. Thank you for making Mum's last few days so comfortable.

After my elderly mother broke her wrist in March she needed respite care until she was fit to return to her own home. Brookfields offered to provide this care. Before moving in we were concerned as my mother has always been independent, living alone at home for the past 30 years, and we were uncertain as to how she would react to such a change. We need not have worried as the staff team is excellent and this team includes everyone - management, nurses, office staff, cleaners kitchen staff, and handymen all of whom have the care of residents as their priority. There is a really good atmosphere at the Home. The staff respects privacy when preferred but also encourages to involve residents to meet with others for meals in the dining room and be in the lounge for the daily varied activities to join in or watch from a distance with no pressure. Facilities are excellent, the rooms spotlessly clean, and food appetising. The Nursing Care is first class. Thank you, Brookfield.

How fortunate we were to have found Brookfields Private Nursing Home and for them to have a room. From the first call, which was reassuring. All the staff are warm, welcoming, friendly and professional. The home is spotlessly clean, warm with such a calm atmosphere. Although Dad’s stay was only brief, we can’t express our thanks enough to the wonderful care and dignity he received. We are immensely grateful that he was to say goodbye here. Thank you.

Mum was discharged from hospital after 5 months following a stroke. We were apprehensive at first but Mum soon settled in for respite following hospital. The staff are all very compassionate and caring, the food is exceptional and can't do enough to help and make you as comfortable as possible. The staff are the stand-out reason why we chose Brookfields and haven't disappointed at all!

Mum went to Brookfields for respite care after sustaining a fractured shoulder and vertebrae in August 2023. After several months, and with a new diagnosis of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s, we realised that Mum would be unable to cope at home and she became a permanent resident. Whilst there, her care has been outstanding. The staff and residents welcomed her so warmly from the moment she arrived and also welcomed my sister and me plus all the grandchildren into the Brookfields family. Very sadly, Mum died in February. The end-of-life care she received was precisely as she would have wanted; surrounded by family and with the expert care of the Brookfields’ nursing staff. The care and dignity given to her was excellent. As a family, we are all immensely grateful to the staff and residents at Brookfields for making Mum’s final months so safe, happy and peaceful.

Required respite care and Brookfields Home were lovely and so obliging. The home itself is lovely and feels welcoming. The staff are very polite, caring, thoughtful and very kind to the client which helps them settle in well. The rooms are very comfortable and the food is excellent. It’s so reassuring to know that the care and treatment is five-star, thank you to all the care staff and everyone else concerned.

My sister has been in Brookfields since April 2023. She was in supported living prior to moving there, however, this was not suitable any more as she needed nursing care. I visited several nursing homes, however, as soon as I entered Brookfields I knew this was the ‘one’. The atmosphere was warm and staff and residents were very welcoming. I endorse the wonderful food and how wonderful the staff are. Although my sister can’t physically join in a lot of the activities, she is always included in them. When mentioning to friends about my sister going into a nursing home they express sympathy, however, I tell them that moving her to Brookfields was one of the best decisions we have ever made as my sister is very happy there. She always has company and is living in a lovely environment and her appetite has improved. Her medical needs are immediately dealt with. We feel so lucky to have found Brookfields.
