About Brooklands Nursing & Residential Home
Brooklands Nursing and Residential Home is in Norwich. We provide both residential and nursing care, which means we can look after people who mainly need help with daily life and people whose health needs call for a registered nurse on duty at any hour, without somebody having to move on when their needs change. We support older people, adults living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Nursing cover allows us to manage complex medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and to watch health closely enough that changes are caught early. Where somebody is nearing the end of their life, it means comfort and familiar faces rather than a move somewhere unfamiliar. Supporting such a mixed group takes planning. A younger adult with a learning disability and an older resident living with dementia want very different things from a week, and support here is built around the individual rather than around a single routine. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round Brooklands.
