About Brook Water House
Brook Water House is a nursing home in Enfield, north London, caring for older people and younger adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing support, including people living with dementia. Having registered nurses here at all hours means we can look after people with complex or changing health needs, and it often spares somebody another move at the very time they need stability. Alongside longer stays we offer respite, which can give a family carer a proper break or give a person time to recover after a hospital admission. We do our best to keep the clinical side of things in the background, where it belongs, supporting a life rather than defining it. That starts with asking people how they like their day to run, what they enjoy eating, who they want to see and what they would still rather do for themselves. For residents living with dementia we keep routines familiar and calm, we allow time, and we look for the reason behind distress instead of simply settling it. Relatives are welcome throughout the day and we would far rather ring you with news, including difficult news, than leave you guessing. The Care Quality Commission has not yet published an overall rating for us. That makes visiting more important, not less, so please come and see the home, meet the nurses and carers, ask us awkward questions and judge the place on what is in front of you.
