About Brookfield Support Centre
Brookfield Support Centre is a care home in St Helens. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. A fair amount of our work is short term. People come for a planned break, after a spell in hospital, or when a family carer has reached the point of needing proper rest rather than a few hours off. Those stays are not a lesser version of what we do. Somebody here for a fortnight should be welcomed properly, known by name and supported in the way they are used to, rather than fitted into whatever routine the building happens to run on. For people staying permanently, the day is theirs. They decide when to get up, where to spend their time and how much company they want. Rooms belong to the people in them, and visitors come without booking a slot. Supporting somebody with dementia is largely about steadiness: the same faces, a recognisable rhythm to the day, and staff who understand what lies behind a repeated question rather than simply answering it again. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at care in St Helens, whether for a short stay or a longer one, please come and see us.
