Summary of report content

Healthwatch Staffordshire undertook an Enter and View visit to Brookside Residential Home on 26 November 2019.  They assessed it against 8 indicators of a good care home:

Findings

This is a small, well run nursing home. It deals well with the limitations and challenges of an older building. There are plans for an extension and renovations which will provide an improved environment for residents. The manager and the staff are very caring and concerned about residents as individuals. The residents appeared to be happy and content and Healthwatch were very pleased to hear about the activities that are available to the residents and that the two Activity Co-ordinators cover each day between them.

There were no recommendations.
