About Blackbrook House Care Home
Blackbrook House Care Home is a residential home in Fareham, Hampshire, caring for older people, including many who are living with dementia. We offer permanent residential care and shorter respite stays, so we can help when living at home has stopped feeling safe, when a family carer needs a proper break, or when someone needs time to regain their confidence after a hospital admission. Moving into a home is a significant step, and we try never to treat it as routine, because for the person and the family it very rarely is. Our care begins with the person's own history and habits. We ask about the work someone did, the places they lived, the food they actually like, the routines that make a day feel right and what still worries them, and we build their support around those answers. For residents with dementia this matters even more, so we keep familiar faces around them, allow plenty of time and look for the reason behind distress rather than simply settling it. Meals are cooked here and we take requests seriously. There is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and relatives are welcome to visit through the day, stay for a cup of tea or join in with whatever is going on. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at homes around Fareham, please come and see ours and ask us anything you like.
