John Gilfillan

General Manager

Hi, my name is John, and I am the General Manager here at Brook House.

I have worked at Brook House since 2007. I was first attracted to this home because of the homely environment and friendly staff.

Nothing is too much to ensure that the residents are happy and their needs are met.

I work every Sunday to ensure that there is contact with loves ones who may not be able to visit during the week.

Brook House provides excellent care, which is reflected in our CQC rating. We always work hard to promote residents' interests prior to moving into the home.
