Brooklyn House is a modern, purpose-built care home in Norfolk, situated in the heart of the attractive market town of Attleborough, offering the highest levels of residential and nursing care for up to 38 elderly people.
Care is provided closely inline with each resident’s person centred care plan. This not only details specific healthcare needs, but also important events that have happened so far in their lives, and preferences in every day aspects of life. We appreciate the positive impact that family involvement can have in a residential care setting and welcome active involvement and feedback from family members.
Brooklyn House retains the services of a local general practitioner, chiropodist, optician and pharmacy to ensure that the professional nursing and healthcare team are supported to deliver continuity in every aspect of the care we provide.
Our professional Care Team work closely with residents to ensure everyone who wishes to can play an active role in the day to day activities at the home. We have a dedicated Health and Wellbeing Coordinator who ensures there is a broad range of events for residents to participate in – from keep-fit classes to creative activities.
