About Heron Court
Heron Court is a residential care home in Brentwood, Essex, providing a home for older people who need support with daily living. We also care for younger adults, support residents living with dementia, and look after people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available for those needing care for a shorter period. We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people are placed. Residents choose when to get up, how to spend their time, what they eat and how sociable they want to be. Meals are cooked on the premises and we pay attention to what people actually enjoy. There is company and activity for those who want it and quiet for those who do not. Our dementia care is built on knowing people properly. We ask families about a person's work, family, music and habits, because reassurance works far better when it is familiar, and we keep the pace unhurried. For residents with a sensory impairment we make sure conversation and information genuinely reach them. We work closely with local GPs and community nurses so that health changes are picked up early, and we keep relatives properly informed. Families are welcome at any reasonable time. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. If you are considering the home for yourself or a relative, please come and look round.
