About Forest Brow Care Home
Forest Brow is a residential care home in Liss, Hampshire. We look after older people who can no longer manage safely at home, and we try to run the home as a home rather than as a unit, with the ordinary rhythms of meals, company, fresh air and rest that people are used to. Our care is residential rather than nursing. In practice that means help with washing and dressing, medication, eating well and moving about safely, alongside the less measurable things that matter just as much: conversation, being listened to and having someone notice when you are not quite yourself. We support residents living with dementia, and our approach is to learn each person's history and habits properly, so that we can reassure them in terms that make sense to them. We offer respite care too, which gives family carers a proper rest and lets prospective residents try the home before committing to anything permanent. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather say so here ourselves. We are focused on the areas raised and we are not asking anyone to take our word for it. If you are considering the home for someone you love, please visit, speak to residents and their relatives, and judge us on what you find.
