About
Braintree Nursing Home sits off the main road in Braintree, Essex, reached by a private driveway and backing onto a small local park. It has provided nursing care for almost 40 years, accepting adults under and over 65 who need nursing or personal care, including people with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. It has 51 registered beds, and 20 rooms have an en suite with WC.
Staff provide person-centred care for a small group of residents, encouraging them to make everyday decisions about their care and remain independent. Residents can personalise their rooms and use the gardens, courtyards and conservatory. An activity coordinator arranges social events, such as barbecues, that are open to relatives, friends and community members. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in 2024, with Good ratings for all five key questions.
