History

history-1970s-outside
Few care homes have the history or reputation to match Broomgrove.

Plans for the trust were first unveiled in 1962 and Broomgrove opened its doors in April 1963, the same month the Beatles’ played arguably their most famous show in Sheffield; the sold out performance at the Azena Ballroom in Gleadless (better known these days as the Co-op!)

Broomgrove’s connections with the ‘Fab Four’ don’t stop there; the marriage of Brian Epstein’s mum and dad took place just a few hundred yards away at the Wilson Road synagogue thirty years earlier.

We mention the group because entertainment and the creation of a stimulating environment for residents are one of things that really make Broomgrove Nursing Home stand out.

The home was officially opened by the Bishop of Sheffield in June 1964 and has been at the heart of the local community ever since.

The ribbon cutting for our latest unveiling, the 2012 refurbishment of our reception area, dining and sitting rooms, was carried out by inspirational pensioner, Ruby Gascoigne.

The 89-year old was one of four women who successfully took their campaign for recognition for the thousands of local women that ran the steel mills in World War Two to 10 Downing Street.

Over the years Broomgrove has provided high quality care and support for thousands of people. We are very proud of our distinguished history and look forward to delivering care and supporting the local community for the next 50 years!

Rarely do superlatives such as “first-class”, “outstanding”, “excellent” and “wonderful” apply unequivocally. Broomgrove merits them and more.

Senior management are “hands-on” and always available to talk.

Broomgrove's care ethic is that everyone has a positive “can-do” attitude.

“Behind the scenes” staff, the kitchen, laundry, the garden/DIY, the cleaning staff all contribute to an upbeat environment.

Mum was able in her last years to feel secure, content, pampered even and above all loved.

Broomgrove responded sensitively to mum’s changing needs. Flexibility was demonstrated in regard to meals, outings and activities.

When mother died peacefully last week, Broomgrove provided us all with immeasurable support. Broomgrove’s dignified approach to mum’s final days was exemplary.

We would unhesitatingly recommend Broomgrove Nursing Home and can confidently say that our mother could not have wished for more in her final days. Nor could we for her.

As the local Vicar, I visit Broomgrove regularly, but now I also have a close friend who is a resident there. As a professional, I have always been impressed by the atmosphere at Broomgrove and the care and attention paid by members of staff, whatever their role. Now that I have a more personal connection I see how happy my friend is and that is a great joy. Thank you to all concerned.
