The activities folk invest enormous energy into getting residents involved with games, activities, singing and seated dancing

My parent has been resident in Brendoncare for several months now. I chose this nursing home based on personal recommendation and am so very grateful for all the care he has received. He arrived in difficult circumstances and was immediately treated with kindness and respect, all the staff have...
The atmosphere at Brendoncare is very welcoming, airy and bright. I feel like I have a new extended family there. The recreational team are amazing, providing a range of activities to those who wish to join in and bedside chats to those who cannot, always with a smile.
An unexpected bonus for me has been the support I have felt, after years of stress and worry. My elderly parent has a new lease of life and so do I!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your loved one has settled in so well and that you have felt supported throughout the journey.

Your kind words about our team, especially the care and recreational staff, mean a great deal and will be shared with them. Knowing that your parent has found a new lease of life and that you feel part of the Brendoncare family is the highest compliment we could receive.

Our Mum moved to independent living at Brendoncare eight years ago. She was independent and kept herself busy. When she needed more help the Close Care team were able to assist with her needs. She was really happy with the care and friendship they provided for her, she felt safe knowing she could...
When she became unwell and needed more care, she moved to the nursing home. This transition was smooth and easy for her as she was able to choose her own room and already knew some of the staff.
The care and consideration of her as a person during her time on Chawton was everything we as a family could have wished for. Everyone was helpful and supportive during her last few weeks which made it easier for us and Mum when she passed.
So a big Thank you to all at Brendoncare Alton.
It is an honour for us to receive your positive experience at Brendoncare Alton. Independence is something that we promote. Developing good relationships, caring for people with kindness and respect are part of our Brendoncare values. It is reassuring for us to know that we supported your mother...

Our Mum has lived independently in one of BrendonCare's apartments for the past 12 years, receiving exactly the right level of care and support throughout her time there. Now, at the age of 93, she has recently moved from her independent apartment into BrendonCare's on-campus care setting, and our family is absolutely delighted with how smoothly the team has managed her transition.
She has settled in beautifully. It's clear she is enjoying her new life - living alongside fellow residents, surrounded by gentle, thoughtful support from the carers and nurses. The BrendonCare team have been unbelievable in their kindness, professionalism, and attention to her wellbeing.
We would not hesitate to recommend BrendonCare. All our family are deeply grateful for the care they have shown Mum and for the peace of mind they've given us.

Brendoncare provides an excellent standard of care for both my parents. Most importantly, the staff are caring and compassionate, and communicate details of my parents' well-being and treatment needs to me on a regular and timely basis. The home and the residents' rooms are modern and comfortable. The grounds are well tended and attractive. Brendoncare is continually investing in the maintenance of the building (new kitchens for instance in 2025), and gardens (currently undergoing major redesign). I feel a weight is off my shoulders knowing my parents are safe, comfortable and well cared for.
Our team is deeply committed to delivering high quality, person centred care that promotes dignity, comfort, and wellbeing. Knowing that you feel reassured they are safe, respected, and well cared for means a great deal to us.

At all times of his stay, he has enjoyed a fantastic level of care and attention from the staff and management. They have gone above and beyond what would normally be expected of them. I would definitely recommend Brendoncare Alton to anyone considering moving to a care home of its type.

Both my mother and my grandmother had a passion for caring and their dedication to helping other people inspired me to train as a nurse. I graduated in nursing in 2005, then took a Masters degree in Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in 2008. After having worked in two private settings, I started working in social care in 2015 and joined Brendoncare in 2018 as Deputy Manager. I am deeply passionate about making a positive impact in people's lives, especially in a field where understanding, empathy and support are crucial.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my young daughter growing up and exploring the world around her. My husband restores classic cars and we enjoy going to car races and shows and have even won some international competitions.

Michael joins Brendoncare Alton as its Administrator after a long career in international markets, mainly working in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. He is excited to bring his experiences in banking and finance to the team.

I have worked in Health and Social Care since 2010, and have been part of the Brendoncare family for over a decade. I have always been passionate about making a difference in people’s lives, with high-quality, compassionate care at the heart of everything I do.
Since moving across to Customer Relations, I love building relationships within local communities and supporting residents and their families through the transition into our homes, helping to make what can be a challenging time as smooth and reassuring as possible.

I have worked for Brendoncare for 2 years and very much enjoy my role here. When not working I enjoy reading, crocheting, and walking my dog.
