I couldn't fault the care, support, and indeed friendship I have received since he came into this home - December. In these difficult times, the communication has been excellent. All the staff have been extremely helpful, supportive and caring from the telephone calls to my first visits. Huge thanks

We have been very happy that our father could go to Brentwood Care as we know they had the facilities to cater to his needs. They showed him respect and kindness and always encouraged and supported him. It has been hard this last year with Covid lockdown and not being able to visit but they have ensured
continual contact via Facetime every week. We are very grateful to the staff for all their hard work and dedication they have shown during this difficult time. We always know that my father was happy and well cared for.

My dad moved into the home in December 2020 for nursing care. Our experience has been nothing but positive. The manager and deputy met us at the moment we first enquired, they were caring and very knowledgeable and gave us time to ask questions. The care dad has received has been outstanding, we have
regular calls and are kept updated by the nurses and care team. Emails from the manager update on visiting and the speed of response to questions about the vaccinations were amazing. We are grateful to the manager and her team.

All through lockdown the excellent staff at Brentwood Care Centre did their level best to ensure our family were kept updated on visiting changes and Facetime alternatives. However, when they installed the day lodge it took visits to new heights. We were so grateful to have those all too brief 30 minute
slots in the warm, sanitised, comfortable and safe surroundings of the lodge. We can’t thank Brentwood Care Centre enough for all their extra care to Mum during this most difficult time.

Review from Lyn C (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
When my mother moved to Brentwood Care Centre over three years ago it was rated as Good and I was very happy with the care she received. Unfortunately, over three years and a succession of five managers, the home deteriorated so much that I decided to move Mum a few months ago. Some of the carers are
excellent but there is little dementia training and the few good carers who were trained left as did an excellent dementia lead. It was so sad to see the standards of the home deteriorate and cuts being made, no doubt to generate yet more money - in cleanliness, hygiene and food especially. Mum was in her room a lot of the time. Having moved her to another home I can see a visible difference in her - I don’t think I realised how much Brentwood had deteriorated until now after a few months I can see how happy she is in her new environment.
Reply from Tori Pollard, General Manager at Brentwood Care Centre

We are pleased to hear that your Mum is doing well in the last 5 months since moving to her new home. Brentwood Care Centre has been very busy with the new leadership team in place, it is a shame you didn't meet them but we understand management changes can be unsettling. There have been so many exciting changes; the whole home team have completed certificates in Dementia Care, the home has refurbished communal parts of the Dementia environment with further plans in place and is working with the Head of Dementia Care and Development to make further positive changes alongside the implementation of the Dementia Strategy. The investment in Brentwood Care Centre is evident not just from the commitment of the management team and the amazing staff team within the home, but also from the local county awards, the national care awards nominations and the CQC report published after only 5 months of the new manager being in post. Stay safe and well.

Review from C A (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been receiving end of life care for the past month. Moving him from our home was an extremely tough decision to make but the management team were incredibly supportive during the transition and have continued supporting me emotionally since. They kindly took a flexible approach with regards
to visiting during these unusual times which means the world to me.
It is obvious to me that dad is being very well cared for medically and in all aspects. He is kept clean, comfortable and stimulated as much as is possible for him. All the staff I have met are cheerful, courteous, kind, friendly, clearly experienced, very professional and genuinely caring. I have been truly humbled at witnessing such heartwarming genuine care from the staff towards dad.
His Parkinson's and dementia have caused him to develop serious swallowing difficulties, but he is provided with a varied appetising menu of pureed food and thickened drinks which he is fed with patience and encouragement.
Dad is very content in his large en-suite room with french windows overlooking the garden. It is bright, fresh and tastefully decorated and very clean.
This is a very well managed home that I would recommend without hesitation.

Mum has been in the home now for 6 months, just before the pandemic hit so it has been a really tough time. The staff have made sure that we have been able to see Mum through FaceTime which has really made us feel at ease. Mum is always smiling and is always presentable and she always tells me everything
she has been up to.

My dad has been living at Brentwood Care Centre now for over 2 years and I have seen him go from being withdrawn and depressed to living an active, healthy life with good care and activities. Lockdown has been hard, however, staff have kept me in contact when I couldn't visit with lots of FaceTime.
Garden visits are great and with the new lodge in the garden, we will be able to continue visiting him whilst keeping warm during the winter months. Keep up the good work.

My brother has been here for a couple of years. There have been a number of changes in staff but this isn’t a bad thing as some of them needed to go. The home has a well-organised visiting plan for the pandemic and whilst it is hard for us not to go into the home, imagine what it’s like for the staff

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.782)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.782) 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.782 for Brentwood Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (390 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 468 Ratings = 4.782
  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 40 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 40 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.
