About Mews Care Home
Braintree Mews Care Home is a residential care home in Braintree, Essex. We look after older people who need help through the day, including many living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. Some of the people living with us are younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Running a home with that spread of need takes more thought than running one where everybody is alike, because no single routine will do. So we work out what each person's day ought to look like and then make the house fit around it rather than the other way round. Where sight or hearing has gone, a building that is hard to read shrinks a person's confidence, so we pay attention to light, contrast, noise, signage and the way staff approach somebody rather than simply arriving at their side. For residents with dementia we keep life predictable and surroundings familiar. Where a physical disability is involved the work is often about equipment, patience and allowing time. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visit without an appointment if you would rather, and we would honestly prefer it.
