About Hawthorn Bungalow
Hawthorn Bungalow is a small residential care home in Brentwood. We support older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Respite stays are available too. Being small is central to how we work. People here are not part of a crowd. Staff know everyone properly, routines can be genuinely individual, and the place feels like a household rather than a facility. For many of the people we support, particularly those who find noise and unpredictability hard, that is the most important thing about us. Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do rather than only around risk. Where somebody needs a great deal of help, we still look for the parts they can take on themselves, because independence disappears quietly unless someone is protecting it. We give real attention to communication and to the environment. We learn how each person expresses themselves, including those who use little or no speech. Where sight or hearing is reduced we keep things where people expect to find them and adapt how we communicate. With dementia, familiar faces and a steady rhythm do most of the work. Respite stays give families a break and give the person staying somewhere settled to come to. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
