Meet The Manager
Emma Dale is Manager at Brook Lane Rest Home.
We are located in Sarisbury Green, Hampshire, which is an easy distance from both Southampton and Portsmouth. Brook Lane Residential Care Home is a family-owned and managed home we have been established since 1985 and the management team is now being led by our second generation.
We have 26 generously sized rooms (28 beds), with many en-suite, which means we are small enough to treat all our clients as individuals in a happy and caring atmosphere, but big enough to ensure our levels of professionalism are second to none. Our spacious day rooms are very comfortable and full of natural light and with lovely views over our garden, you will also find some quiet nooks to read or relax.
We are continuing our programme of installing the latest design of beds by Linet Wissner-Bosserhoff, which are designed both to monitor the user for their comfort and well-being. As they are lower to the floor, they are easier to get in and out of bed, and are proven to reduce the risk of accidental falls.
We believe that using these beds adds to the dignity, independence and safety of our residents and, of course, they are very comfortable.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
