About

Brooks Care and Nursing Services Ltd is a home care agency based in Rayleigh, Essex, providing care and support in people's own homes across Southend, Rayleigh, Rochford and Castle Point. Its care focus is dementia, and it also supports older people, younger adults, people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, sensory impairment and learning disabilities. The agency tailors its services to each adult, from a few hours a week to around-the-clock care. It began as a small service and has grown, while keeping person-centred care at its core. It holds tier-one status with Essex County Council, and many staff have worked with the agency since it started. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall in its 2023 report, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
