CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Brook Lane Rest Home is a 28-bed residential care home in Southampton, Hampshire. The home is its own registered provider. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in December 2018. It was Outstanding for caring and well-led as well. For safe, effective and responsive, the rating was Good. Its rating before that, in April 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 46% of homes in Hampshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
