Meet The Manager
Michelle Fleming is General Manager at Brookfield House Care Home.
My first role at Brookfield House was as a Care Assistant on the Elderly Mental Dementia unit (EMD). From day one, I was drawn to the challenging nature of the work, and I quickly realized how rewarding it could be. I dedicated myself to learning and growing in this field, and with time, I worked my way up to a senior position.
Following my dedication and hard work, I was fortunate enough to be offered a Unit Manager post on the EMD unit at Brookfield. This promotion felt like a testament to the trust and confidence the company had in my abilities. For nearly three years now, I have been proudly serving as the manager of the Brookfield House.
Throughout my time at Brookfield House, I have been incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance provided by the company. I am constantly inspired to push myself further and explore new horizons in the field of elderly care.
Situated in a peaceful area of Castleton, not far from Rochdale, Brookfield House is a friendly care home that offers residential, nursing, residential dementia and nursing dementia care. Built on the site of an old textile mill, Brookfield House Care Home can be found in a quiet area of Castleton. With Rochdale in close proximity, there are plenty of choices for entertainment outside of the home. With the grounds at Brookfield House, there are large wheelchair-friendly landscaped gardens along with a furnished patio for those lazy summer days.
