Reviews & Ratings
Don't just take our word for it
Brentwood Care Centre has a very warm and welcoming feel as soon as you arrive. My mother has settled in very quickly despite a stressful move when her old home closed down. I am extremely happy to see her so settled. Brentwood Care Centre is wonderful!

What is Respite?
Respite care is a short-term stay in a care home and can be planned or unplanned.
Planned respite gives the person’s usual carer, often a family member or close friend, the opportunity to take a break and look after their own health and wellbeing needs. It may be that they are going on holiday, or unable to continue providing the same level of care and support for a while due to their own medical needs or hospital stay.
Unplanned respite care is often provided when the individual who needs care has had an accident or illness. Their usual carer may be unable to provide the intensive 24-hour support needed while they recover, or they might need to allow time for any additional adaptations or support packages to be put in place before the person returns home from hospital.
What is respite care like?
Respite care provides a variety of benefits for both the individual needing care, as well as their family or friend who usually provides support. It is an opportunity for everyone involved to have a break knowing that their loved one’s care and wellbeing needs are being met by our trained team in one of our safe and welcoming homes.
As with all of the residents who live with us, people on a short-term stay will have a personalised care plan that is developed in partnership with them and those closest to them. This ensures all of their care needs are met during their time with us — irrespective of whether that person needs residential care, nursing care or dementia care.
During someone’s short-term stay they will have a variety of opportunities which perhaps wouldn’t be so accessible in their own home. Companionship and social interactions with our residents and caring team are usually the main benefits people notice most, as often the person may be living alone before to coming to stay.
There will also be a wide variety of activities and events on offer for them to join in with if they want to, along with a range of home-cooked meals, carefully prepared by our in-house catering teams — ensuring even the shortest of stays is a positive experience.
