About Brooklyn House
Brooklyn House is a residential care home in Clacton On Sea. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we support younger adults too. We also offer respite stays for families needing a planned break. We try to run this as a household rather than a facility, and the test of that lies in ordinary things. Whether staff knock and wait. Whether you can get a cup of tea late in the evening. Whether the person helping you knows what you did for a living. Whether anybody notices when you have been quieter than usual. Being at the coast is genuinely useful. A walk along the front, weather permitting, or simply sitting somewhere with a view and some fresh air, does more for most people than anything we could organise indoors. For residents living with dementia we protect the routine and keep the surroundings familiar, and we ask families for the working life, the places and the names, because those are what still connect when a great deal else has gone. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Relatives are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would rather be seen on an ordinary day than a prepared one.
