About Brookfield Care Home

Brookfield Care Home is a residential care home in Redcar and Cleveland, providing personal care to older people. Further detail from the CQC's most recent inspection is set out below.

Brookfield Care Home provides personal care to 22 older people, some living with dementia, with capacity for up to 30 residents. Staff deliver individualized care and support based on assessed needs. The home maintains quality assurance checks and audits to uphold standards and safety, with recent improvements addressing issues identified in the previous inspection.

The general manager ensures these processes remain effective and achieves required outcomes promptly.

People receive prescribed medicines safely, though recent audits identified some shortfalls in medicine management. New processes are being implemented with specialist input to further strengthen this area. The home follows good infection control practices, and while some staff guidance on mask use required immediate correction during inspection, the facility maintains high cleanliness standards and is free from odours.
