About Brookside Residential Home
Brookside Residential Home provides residential, dementia and respite care in a compact traditional property designed to retain the feel of a real home. It supports older people and adults with dementia, with round-the-clock care for stays ranging from a short period of recuperation to longer-term residence.
Residents have their own rooms, communal lounges, a conservatory and access to daily activities, entertainment and quieter spaces. The activities programme includes visiting singers and performers, seasonal events and a weekly music and movement coach. Care plans are discussed with residents and families, dietary requirements are worked into menu planning, and rooms have alarm call systems. Respite stays give families time away while residents continue to receive the home’s usual care and activities.

Questions families ask
What type of person can be considered for residential care?
There is no single resident profile. Brookside assesses each potential resident individually to decide whether its residential care service is suitable.
Can Brookside accommodate specific dietary requirements?
Yes. Brookside discusses the resident’s requirements with the family and creates a menu plan to provide suitable food.
Can residents and families have a say in the care plan?
Yes. Brookside discusses care plans with residents and their families so they can explain what care and support are needed.
What activities are available during the week?
An activities coordinator provides a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities from Monday to Friday, and residents can also arrange their own activities.
Do rooms have an alarm system for emergencies at night?
Yes. Every room has an alarm call system that summons a staff member, with further precautions added if safety concerns remain after the initial monitoring period.
Can residents bring personal belongings and small furniture?
Yes. Residents can bring treasured items, pictures and other belongings, provided they fit safely in the room. Small furniture can also be brought.
