About Little Brooke
Little Brooke is a residential care home in Eastleigh for older people who need help with daily living, including many people living with dementia. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. What we offer is fairly simple and we try to do it well. Help with washing, dressing and getting about, given at the person's own pace and in a way that protects their dignity. Medication managed properly. Three meals a day cooked here that people are glad to sit down to, with real choice at every one. Warm, clean rooms that people make their own with their own furniture and photographs. Company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. With dementia we depend on knowing a person well, so we gather their history with their family when they arrive and keep adding to it, and we keep the shape of the day predictable because that helps more than anything else we could organise. We keep an eye on health without turning the house into a clinic. If somebody seems unwell we act early, involve the surgery and the district nurses, and tell families what is happening rather than waiting to be asked. Respite stays can give a relative who cares at home a genuine break, and they let somebody get to know us gradually. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall.
