Review submitted by Penny Y (Respite Resident/Service User) on Saturday 6 June 2020. Review relates to January 2020.

I arrived at Brook View on Christmas Eve after being released from hospital following an accident. Despite the short notice, they provided Christmas Lunch for my husband and me. They also arranged for a professional hairdresser to wash my hair - ladies will know the importance of that! Everyone was really friendly throughout my stay, and as I grew more mobile around the building I was addressed by name and with a smile by all, whether or not we had met before. Residents were equally welcoming at the daily activities and I (almost) was sad to leave. The food was delicious with interesting selections and a choice of portion size. Chef visited me in person to check if I had any allergies, so I was not able to order the wrong meal by mistake. We often had home-made cakes and biscuits at afternoon tea. I felt really safe and welcome throughout my stay, as I recovered from the injury and the shock of my accident.

Review submitted by Mark Robert C (Son of Resident/Service User) on Friday 22 November 2019. Review relates to November 2019.

My father has become a resident of Brook View very recently, having moved into their care after a period of time spent in hospital and latterly an NHS rehabilitation facility. He is safe, well cared for and happy. The staff at Brook View have been universally fantastic, they are so engaging and caring, nothing is too much trouble and they do all they can to ensure my father is comfortable and content. My father is not the most sociable of individuals sometimes but the staff always invest time in their interactions with him and their caring nature shines through in these conversations which makes my father feel safe and well cared for. He has even started to become involved in some of the numerous activities that are available - something that even he is surprised by! I am incredibly grateful to the staff at Brook View, I have never seen my father happier in recent years and I know he is being kept safe and being well cared for.

All the staff are helpful, friendly and caring. There are rarely agency staff. Whilst most of the activities are not of interest to my mother, she has enjoyed the outings she has been on. The staff all keep my mother aware of activities but respect her desire not to participate.

My mother has been a resident for 5 months after an urgent assessment. She very quickly settled and became much happier as she received excellent 24-hour care. All the staff are extremely kind, caring and always treat Mum with patience, dignity and respect. Her clothes are beautifully laundered. The staff even label all her clothes and the family enjoy seeing Mum looking so nicely dressed. The meals are of a very high standard and Mum enjoys choosing from a wide menu for each meal. The home is beautifully maintained and recreational activities are the family. Mum now feels she is at home in Brook View.

The care Mum receives is second to none. The day I came to Brook View to look around it was such a breath of fresh air and a tremendous relief to be greeted by such a lovely, caring, approachable, friendly and professional team of people. Everyone takes time to listen, understand and get to know each resident and its the same for the family support too. Everyone goes the extra mile to accommodate. I said to Mum that if I needed to be cared for, that Brook View is exactly where I would want to be. There is a variety of daily activities and the food is lovely.

My step-mother became a resident here several months ago. As I live in Canada we were unable to visit until only recently. In the meantime, we have been in touch by phone. It has been a relief to see how well she has been taken care of and a pleasure to meet all the staff. They are all polite, caring and friendly.

I came with my husband to stay for a week in a double room. His visit is for 2 weeks. (Helping him with familiarisation was vital to feel I could leave him for my respite break for the next week) It has been a wonderful opportunity for me and I know he will be left in very good care. The atmosphere, staff, facilities and food have made it a good experience.

Review submitted by Lynn G (Friend of Resident/Service User) on Tuesday 1 January 2019. Review relates to December 2018.

This is more like a hotel than a care home. We came to visit our neighbour twice during his stay and also attended 2 social events with him. Everything was excellent. The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with lovely floral arrangements. The food was first class, great choice, well cooked and presented. The events (quizzes and pantomime) were well organised and most enjoyable. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Efficient and so caring. Top marks all round.

Review submitted by Tim W (Son of Resident/Service User) on Tuesday 27 November 2018. Review relates to November 2018.

Mother was at Brook View for 5 years. Whenever I visited her, she was invariably complimentary about those looking after her, and would always mention how lucky she was to be living there. She was always keen to be active and helpful as far as she could, and a really positive aspect of her stay was that the staff would let her, when it was possible, In her last few months when she needed full nursing care, the nursing staff were always helpful, caring and professional.

I am very pleased with the care my mother has received over the months. All the staff are well trained and very caring, nothing is too much trouble for them they are thoughtful and kind and treat mum with dignity. Only two occasions when communications could have been improved on. Support facilities for the families are excellent.

Throughout the admissions process and since I have found the staff at Brook View extremely helpful and the level of care afforded of the highest standard. I am sure this has helped Mum greatly in settling into her new surroundings as quickly as she has. The superb garden at Brook View is another outstanding feature of the home.

Review submitted by Ronald H (Respite Resident/Service User) on Tuesday 9 October 2018. Review relates to September 2018.

I was apprehensive at first not having stayed in a rest home before. However, I soon settled in because the staff made me very welcome and many of the residents did the same. It was very nice to have several different activities to take part in every day, even a trip out in the minibus each week. Lunch and supper were, apart from very good meals, a social occasion with the chance to talk to the other people at the table on different subjects. My two weeks was a very nice experience and I would suggest that Brook View is among the top tier of rest homes if not at the very top.

Arrived at Brook View unannounced on a Friday afternoon. We were made to feel very welcome and shown around all the facilities. Immediately welcomed. This would be the home we would like our relative to stay in. Not only have all the staff cared and looked after our relative, they also supported us in this different time. We would like to thank everybody who works at Brook View.

This was my 2nd stay at Brook View, two weeks and a few days while my daughters were on holiday. As usual the staff make you very welcome and always greet you by name - quite an achievement considering the number of residents. I particularly enjoy the activities. The dining room staff are extremely patient dealing with the fussiness of some people! Every effort is made to get you just what you want.

Brook View and it's staff are magnificent in the standard of accommodation, food (all prepared on site by the talented chef) and care given by the team of nurses, carer's, back up staff of admin, catering and housekeeping. They all made my father-in-law's last weeks as pleasant as humanly possible. He was not well enough to take part in the many activities and outings provided to the residents in Brook View but was able to enjoy the pleasant gardens sitting by the fountain.

Review submitted by Christopher B (Respite Resident/Service User) on Friday 20 July 2018. Review relates to June 2018.

A very comfortable and well-maintained nursing home. Understandably attracts a high standard of clientele. Although the rooms are excellent my room was not suitable for a resident who was in a wheelchair. Too small, although I was only there for 2 weeks. The attention and organisation to daily events were well received. The nursing care was of the highest order. The richness of the food did not suit me but there was plenty of choices and excellent quality. The acceptance of visitors to be able to join me for lunch was highly appreciated particularly as there was no extra cost. This is rightly a popular venue which I thoroughly enjoyed for 2 weeks with highly trained staff and management.

All staff very helpful, very friendly. Mum is struggling to recover from a major stroke but the nurses are doing a fantastic job. They liaise with us as a family, the local doctor and the charity team from Christchurch, all of whom have gone out of their way to keep mam as well and as comfortable as possible, whilst making her feel wanted and at home.

Mum was supported initially for respite, however, we had decided to place mum long term to support her Alzheimers and other long-term conditions as the home really treated mum with compassion, care and respect, communicating accurately and timely with the family. Unfortunately, mum deteriorated rapidly and died but throughout both the respite and her end of life, we could not fault the home. Thank you very much.

This is more like a hotel than a care home! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with lovely floral arrangements. The food was first class, great choice, well cooked and presented. The events, quizzes and pantomimes were well organised and most enjoyable with all the staff we encountered were friendly. Top marks all round!
