Award-winning music therapy

Brookfield care home in Oxford is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to help alleviate isolation and the symptoms for those living with dementia. Our trained therapist is funded by charitable donations.

The therapist interacts directly with residents through live music therapy sessions. This includes singing, playing simple percussion instruments or responding to musical cues in a one-to-one or group setting. Take a look at our video to find out more about this life-changing therapy.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support

Brookfield is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. The chaplain provides a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.

Your room

We encourage our residents to furnish their own rooms as they wish.

The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled.

All our bedrooms have an en suite toilet and sink and some rooms enjoy lovely garden views. If your loved one enjoys catching up with the latest news, sport, chat shows or soaps, we can provide a wall mounted TV in their room on request, and there’s WiFi throughout the home.
