Enter & View: Broomfield Care Home

The purpose of this Enter and View programme was to engage with residents, their relatives, or carers, to explore their overall experience of living in Broomfield Care Home. As well as building a picture of their general experience, we asked about experiences in relation to social isolation and physical activity.

Summary of our findings

There were 34 residents at the time of the visit 4 with empty rooms. There was an average age of 86 years, an age range of 75 to 97 years.

Broomfield Care Home is privately owned and registered to provide residential and nursing care for up to 40 people. They also support a high proportion of residents who have a dementia diagnosis.

On the basis of our visit, we found the staff at Broomfield to be kind, gentle and encouraging, and the improvements to the premises made by renovations that have been completed have been much appreciated by residents.
