Brookfield Care Centre

Brookfield Care Centre, located in the tranquil countryside of North East Cork, offers a comprehensive range of residential care services designed to meet the diverse needs of its residents. The facility is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment, facilitating both short-term stays and long-term residential care. Recognizing the importance of family and community connections, Brookfield aims to make every resident feel at home through personalized care planning that involves residents in decisions about their care, activities, and living environment. The care center specializes in several types of care, including full-time residential care, dementia-friendly support, convalescence services, and respite care. Full-time residential care is available round-the-clock, with a strong emphasis on involving residents in their care journeys. The dementia-friendly approach ensures that residents living with dementia receive specialized support, promoting independence while minimizing confusion and responsive behaviors through evidence-based practices. Convalescence care helps individuals recover from surgery or illness, typically lasting two to six weeks according to individual health progress. Additionally, respite care offers temporary relief for home caregivers, allowing families some well-deserved time off. Brookfield Care Centre prides itself on its extensive range of facilities and services, including 24/7 nursing care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and a dedicated activities team. Social activities play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for residents, and the center hosts a variety of events such as gardening clubs, movie afternoons, and themed evenings, all designed to foster community and interaction. Meals are prepared by a specialized chef, focusing on fresh and seasonal ingredients, catering to various dietary needs, and providing a pleasant dining experience. Furthermore, the community spaces—both social and quiet—encourage residents to engage with one another or enjoy moments of solitude. With an emphasis on individualized care, meaningful engagement, and maintaining a vibrant community life, Brookfield Care Centre seeks to enrich the living experiences of its residents, allowing them to thrive in a supportive and nurturing environment. The center also offers assistance with navigating funding options, including the Fair Deal scheme, providing invaluable support in choosing the best care solutions for families.
