My mother-in-law has had exceptional care over the past 2 months. She was fairly withdrawn when she arrived but the staff have been wonderful and she has come on in leaps and bounds. She made friends with some of the other residents and was very well supported by the staff.
This is a happy place and
I would recommend it to anyone considering a placement.

As a carer in profession, I have worked in many sectors of care. I cannot praise Brentwood Care Centre enough. My parents are receiving the best care possible. Both have different needs & are fully catered for. There are plenty of activities to join in & are encouraged to do so. Special dates i.e; birthdays,
anniversaries, are celebrated, extra effort is made to make the residents feel at home.

Review from A P (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After 5 months in hospital my brother-in-law was moved into Brentwood Care Centre rehabilitation. He was very frustrated at his slow progress in hospital and was not initially a very happy man. His situation was quickly assessed and steps were taken to assist in his rehab. The staff were amazing and
it is clear to see that the change in all aspects of his recovery are beyond all expectations.
This has been an excellent experience for all involved in the family and I would unreservedly recommend Brentwood Care Centre.

Our team is dedicated to supporting each resident with compassion, professionalism, and personalized attention, and it's wonderful to know their efforts made a meaningful difference.Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we're so pleased that your entire family had a positive experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Dad came to Brentwood Care Centre only for a short time sadly.
But his time there, he was safe, well looked after and cared for to the highest quality.
The building and rooms are lovely, clean and comfortable.
From entering the building, the lady on reception was so kind, welcoming and caring
and made us all feel relaxed and happy. The time we were there especially during when we lost Dad at the end, she gave so much time, care, and love to us, that we will always be grateful. The nurses and care staff on Balmoral were so kind and attentive to Dad and really got to know him well. They nursed him with such care at the end and were gentle and compassionate.
All the staff at Brentwood Care Centre made our time there and experience a very personal one that we will always appreciate. We are so pleased Dad was able to be there for the last few months of his life and only wish he'd been there longer.
Thank you to everyone at Brentwood Care Centre.

Brentwood Care Home has been very supportive in my father's move from his home to the care home. He has been able to furnish and decorate his room with furniture and pictures from his home. The staff are extremely caring and have made him feel at home. The nurse has taken special care of any medical

Review from Robert B (Son of Resident) published on 18 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother completed a two-week live-in respite care placement. We had wanted a one-week placement but was refused, looking back I now feel two weeks was the best as it allowed my mother to settle in more.
My mother complained generally about the food but I feel this was rather harsh as it always looked
good.
There was a slight smell of urine on the first floor but again, this is to be expected to a degree.
There were activities but didn't seem promoted enough as, at times, my mother was the only participant.
We were initially given a price which later changed to a higher cost which was a little unsettling. I felt the exact cost should have been stated at the onset. We also felt the cost was extremely high.
However, despite all the above, my mother enjoyed her stay there, I would recommend the care home and if they allowed one-week stays, I would rebook my mother back in.
Reply from Rhiannon McNeill, Customer Relations Manager at Brentwood Care Centre

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for us. I am so pleased that your mum enjoyed her stay with us. I recall that she did enjoy the activities on offer and that some of these were specifically arranged for her. Our team work very hard to promote a person-centred approach to care and activities can be provided for one person or more, dependent upon their needs. We are so pleased that you would recommend our home and would consider Mum staying with us in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for Brentwood Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.762 for Brentwood Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (365 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 446 Ratings = 4.762
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brentwood Care Centre is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 112 registered maximum number of service users is 22.4, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
