About Brook House Care Centre
Brook House Care Centre is a nursing home in Greenwich, London, caring for older people whose health needs have gone beyond what can be managed comfortably at home. With qualified nurses on hand at all hours, changes in someone's condition are picked up early and handled calmly, which often spares people an unnecessary trip to hospital. Much of our work is with people living with dementia. We keep the day unhurried and predictable, we make sure people see familiar faces, and we pay attention to the small things that settle someone, a favourite chair by the window, a particular time for tea, music they have always liked. Families tell us that what reassures them most is walking in and finding their relative comfortable and occupied. We also provide respite care, for people recovering after a hospital stay and for families who need a break. Short stays are arranged properly, so someone arrives to a room prepared for them and a team who already know how they like things. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We regard that as the floor rather than the ceiling. If you are considering nursing care in this part of London, we would encourage you to come and look round, meet the nurses and carers and ask us whatever you want to know, including the questions people often feel awkward asking.
