About Brookside Residential Home
Brookside Residential Home is a residential care home in Stafford, Staffordshire. We care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with mental health conditions, and people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter time. Because the people who live here have quite different needs, we plan around the individual rather than running the house to one pattern. Someone living with dementia needs calm, familiarity and staff who know their history well enough to steady them. A younger adult may want independence, privacy and support that stays in the background until it is asked for. Both are possible in the same house if you take the trouble to plan properly. For people with sight or hearing loss we pay attention to the details that decide whether someone stays independent, things like lighting, familiar layouts, unhurried conversation and equipment that works when it is needed. Stafford is home for most of our residents, and we help them keep up with family, appointments and the places they know. We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accept that and are working on the areas raised. Please come and visit, ask us about it and form your own view of the home.
