Celebrating over 30 years in quality care



Our Team

What makes George Brooker House special is our loyal team of dedicated people. They provide the highest standards of residential and specialist dementia care within a real ‘home from home’ environment. Many members of staff are long serving employees of the home, which is a testament to the fact that they are happy in their work and genuinely care about our residents. Every hour of every day, house staff are working to make sure every resident receives quality care to meet their individual needs.

Our professional team is led by Margaret Strong, the registered manager. She has various heads of departments to support her in the day-to-day running of the home. Daily hands on care is carried out by our senior carers and care assistants who are all professionally qualified in caring for both the frail and elderly, and for those residents with dementia.

Registered Manager

The house has a professional catering team that provide nutritious, freshly cooked meals daily for our residents. Additionally, a well-organised domestic staff ensure optimum levels of comfort and house cleanliness. They work on a daily basis, cleaning residents’ bedrooms as well as all communal areas throughout the home. The maintenance officer ensures that the house is well maintained and a safe environment for residents and staff. We also employ a gardener who tends to the garden on a regular basis, keeping it tidy and seasonal all year round.

"My Mum has been at George Brooker House since January 2024. Finding somwhere that will care for your loved one is hard and makes you question if you have made the right choice for them. I have no doubt that I found mum the perfect home, and I am very grateful to all of the staff that look after her so well. Not every day is a good day for someone with Dementia and Alzheimer's but the staff understand and if it's a bad day it doesn't matter. Mums happy and I couldn't ask for more than that.
