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.
Reply from Tori Pollard, General Manager at Brentwood Care CentreThank you, hopefully, you will enjoy visiting in our new Day Lodge now too. We know contact with your Mum is so important and are working hard to ensure these physical visits continue.

My dad has been living at Brentwood Care Centre now for over 2 years and I have seen him go from being withdrawn and depressed to living an active, healthy life with good care and activities.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.
Reply from Tori Pollard, General Manager at Brentwood Care CentreThank you for sharing your view of the care we provide. We hope you are enjoying the new lodge, it has made a huge difference to our continued family visits. The improvements in your Dad's health and well-being are lovely to see. The love and dedication of your family, working alongside the Brentwood Care Centre Team has enabled the person centred approach to work exceptionally well and create purposeful, positive and meaningful interactions.

I had to remove my mother from this care home after three and a half years of deteriorating care, cleanliness, hygiene, and compassion, plus, a succession of five managers. I would not recommend this care provider to anyone, especially those suffering from dementia.

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
team. I am truly grateful that my brother remains safe and well and thank the manager and her team for all they are doing.

My aunt has been well cared for over the last 9-10 years. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They will answer any questions and concerns. The doctor is called when necessary. I have been contacted when I need to no any problems with my aunt. She has moved rooms a few times for various reasons
and always protests but time has been taken to make sure she is happy. I would not consider moving her to another home.

Nan is happy here and has good care. She has put on weight and has better mobility and is treated with dignity by all the staff. There has been a change in management but we have had good communication and our family are confident in their abilities. The pandemic has been hard for us all but we know
Nan is in safe hands.

Review from Susan C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My family and I chose this care home for its proximity to us. Since dad entered the care home in December 2019, we have found it generally acceptable in all aspects. The activities programme is encouraged by the staff to get residents involved and to meet one another. We found that at weekends when
visiting, staff were either unavailable or short-staffed. The staff we have encountered during these 7 months all seem friendly and helpful including the administrative staff and auxiliary staff.
During the lockdown, we feel that at times we have not been kept up to date with aspects like well being, requirements for the need for more toiletries/clothing, e.g. or anything of a medical nature, although staff have contacted me and informed me of certain situations.
The services of hairdressing, chiropodist, and contacts with opticians and dentist are all very useful for the availability to treat residents as and when required.
Reply from Tori Pollard, General Manager at Brentwood Care CentreThank you for leaving this review. Since starting at the home a review of the process for sickness and absence has been completed and measures taken to ensure that this is all coordinated by the on-call manager, ensure staffing numbers are maintained at weekends as they are during the week. The pandemic has been a challenging time for us all and I appreciate your feedback in relation to communication. We are working with the unit teams to ensure communications occur more frequently and effectively.

My mother moved to your care centre from hospital and needed end of life care. She was treated with absolute dignity. My family were all shown such kindness and compassion. Nurses kept us informed every step of the way and we were able to spend mum's last few days with her feeling fully supported. Exceptional
care - we are so very grateful to you all.

All the staff are very caring and supportive. My husband was only at the home for a month but everyone did everything possible to make him comfortable. He obviously wanted to be at home but the managerial staff made it their business to find out from him why he was unhappy and made sure his worries
were taken away. Everyone working at the home were wonderful.

My dad was moved from hospital to Brentwood Care Centre for end of life care. He arrived on Wednesday and died on Friday. In that short time, he was treated with respect and dignity. It allowed us to spend time with Dad, without the pressure of visiting times and gave us the privacy we needed in order
for us to say goodbye. When he passed we were given time after and it was very peaceful, which is all I wanted for my dad.
Reply from Amanda DeLaBruyere, General Manager at Brentwood Care CentreThank you so much for your review at this very sad time. I am so pleased that you felt that you and your family were treated with respect and dignity and that we were able to deliver and meet your expectations.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My stepmother needed respite care when my sister, who lives close to her and visits daily, was going away. We need to know that she was in a safe environment and that someone was around should she fall. Brentwood Care Centre welcomed her and she settled in quickly. She told us that the food was good
and that all the staff were lovely. As she suffers from cognitive vascular dementia, she lives in the moment or happily talks about the past, and she seemed happy in her environment there. She did not, as we thought she would, stay in her room during activities (which she's never been keen on joining in when she was an adult), but enjoyed watching the other residents engaging, and was ready to assist them with anything, like getting something, or helping with feeding them at mealtimes. She has always helped others and this gave her a sense of purpose.


Once home, for a while she seemed far more her old self.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.800 for Brentwood Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (415 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 489 Ratings = 4.8
  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 42 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 42 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.
