About The Brooklands Residential Home
The Brooklands Residential Home is a care home in Preston, Lancashire. We provide a permanent home for adults with a range of care needs, and we aim for a household where people are known properly rather than simply looked after efficiently. Our care is residential rather than nursing. We help with personal care, medication, meals, mobility and company, and we bring in community health professionals when something more clinical is needed. We support residents living with dementia, where familiar staff and a routine that holds steady are the things that genuinely help. We care for residents living with mental health conditions, where a calm environment and early attention to changes matter greatly, and residents with physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment, adapting how we communicate and how we assist person by person. We support younger adults as well, and we plan their interests and routines separately rather than folding them into a pattern designed for older residents. Respite stays are available, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody try the home before a permanent decision is made. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the home on an ordinary day, speak to residents and relatives, and form your own impression.
