Brookfield Care Home

Brookfield Care Home is a residential service in the CQC-registered category, providing care for up to 45 older people, including those living with dementia. The overall rating has changed from good to requires improvement. Inspectors found that risks to people's health and safety were not always properly assessed, medicines management had shortfalls, and governance arrangements failed to identify and act on these issues, leading to two breaches of regulation.

On a more positive note, the CQC found a stable, well-supported staff team who treated people with kindness and respect. People and relatives described the home as well run, felt safe, and said staff were caring and attentive. The building was clean, homely, and included pleasant outdoor space.
