The team at Forest Brow are experienced in caring for residents with a range of different needs including dementia but primarily individuals who are no longer able to live at home independently or with families.

Yes, day care residents are more than welcome at Forest Brow and we can also offer respite placements subject to rooms being available. Day care residents are made to feel part of the Forest Brow community and are offered meals, activities and support alongside our other residents.

Our activities co-ordinator makes sure that a range of in house and external activities are on offer including visits from entertainers, games, theme days and outings including trips to the seaside and surrounding attractions. Depending on the season our residents and families can also enjoy barbeques and tea parties in the beautiful gardens, and nearer Christmas we put on a number of events and pantomimes (oh yes we do!)

Fees vary depending on individual requirements and the type of room, but typically our weekly fee is between £1,200 and £1,500. This includes all meals, most in-house activities, care and support and accommodation cost. We charge for certain outings and events, individual lifestyle items such as hairdressing and chiropody and we ask that residents provide personal toiletries, but that’s about it.

Forest Brow received a rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ at its last inspection in July 2023, with 3 out of 5 key areas rated as ‘Good’.  We are working closely with the CQC to improve on the 2 areas that were rated RI, including registering our manager Sarah with the CQC, and are confident that these changes will result in a further improvement to our rating at the next inspection.
