Welcome to Brentwood Care Centre, in Essex
Our award-winning care home offers bespoke person-centred care for individuals living with Nursing, Residential and Dementia needs.
Situated in a pleasant and quiet residential area, Brentwood Care Centre is a purpose-built home in the small town of Brentwood, Essex.
We are perfectly located within close proximity of local amenities, including a good range of shops, cafes and restaurants, all of which are less than two miles away!
With good local transport links including local taxis, buses and the train station is only two miles away. We have a local theatre, art galleries, a cinema, garden centres, and also, right on our door step, is the historic Weald Country Park.
At Brentwood Care Centre we are very proud of our strong community links and regular involvement with local community groups, charities, schools and nurseries, churches and businesses.
Dementia-friendly activities
Our team takes a considered approach to dementia-friendly activities and meaningful engagement – supporting our residents who live with dementia to still experience happiness, comfort and contentment.
With a deep knowledge of people’s life histories, we are able to encourage positive reminiscence and create a safe and supportive environment where people feel comfortable taking part in both familiar and new activities, trips and events.

Lifestyle & Events
Supporting our residents to enjoy every day living at Brentwood Care Centre is a key focus for our dedicated team.
By getting to know each person, we are able to tailor our activities and events to their likes and dislikes as well as activities they may like to try.
No two days are the same here and, alongside our usual daily hobby-based activities, we also like to host events which are a little out of the ordinary.
In addition to art therapy, keeping fit with our chair-based exercises, baking, and quizzes. We also take great pleasure in welcoming visiting entertainers, schools and groups to our home to enjoy spending time with our residents.
Our team and residents also love pottering around the local garden centre, taking in a movie at the cinema and getting dressed up for our themed days throughout the year – complete with themed menus and decorations!

Nutrition & Dining
Great food speaks volumes about how we care and, in our homes, food is at the heart of the home.
To create the RCH Dining Experience, the Catering Team consists of a Chef and Kitchen Team. The Catering Team are committed to promoting each resident’s health and wellbeing with wholesome and nutritional seasonal menus which are freshly prepared in our homes every day.
The Chef works alongside the whole care team to understand each individual resident’s preferences and special dietary needs.
Our dining rooms are informal, relaxed, welcoming spaces, but just as in your own home, any space may lend itself to eating and drinking.
We support residents to enjoy meals wherever they feel most comfortable, breakfast in bed is a favourite with afternoon tea in the garden a close second.

Meet the Manager
Jacqui Shuttleworth – Brentwood General Manager
Jacqui recently joined the RCH Family as the General Manager of Brentwood Care Centre.
Jacqui brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise to the home, with over 30 years of experience in the Health and Social Care Sector. For over 20 years, Jacqui has been managing residential, residential dementia, nursing, and rehabilitation care settings, including almost four years as an Operations and Compliance Manager.
For Jacqui, the passion and dedication that have inspired her career since 1992 are still vibrant. “I have relished and valued every aspect of my journey through the care pathway. I enjoy the diversity of the role – no two days are ever the same! I am especially passionate about the care of people living with dementia, offering stimulating and meaningful experiences for residents and ensuring that the care they receive is the best it can be. I love the social aspect of meeting and liaising with residents and their loved ones and supporting their journey at this time of their lives. I enjoy being able to lead a team of carers and nurses to deliver high-quality care to the people living at Brentwood Care Centre.”
Outside of work, Jacqui is an animal lover and shows her natural compassion and dedication through looking after the local wildlife. “I have a love of animals (once I was intending to become a vet) and I have some visiting foxes, cats, seagulls, and hedgehogs that I feed on my front lawn every day. I also go out with my partner each night to feed foxes and badgers at our local nature reserve. I hope in some small way I keep them well-fed, off the streets, and out of people’s rubbish sacks and help them to remain safe.”
