About Old Shenfield Place
Old Shenfield Place is a residential care home in Brentwood, Essex. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. A home is made or spoiled in small increments. A shave done properly. A hearing aid with a working battery. Glasses that are clean. Nobody left waiting in a corridor. For residents living with dementia we protect the routine and keep the surroundings familiar, and we ask families for the working life, the places and the names. We were last rated requires improvement overall by the Care Quality Commission. It would be easy to leave that out, and we would rather set it out and be asked about it. We keep an eye on weight, appetite and mood, because those are usually the first signs that something has changed for somebody. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour, and grandchildren and dogs are part of that. A home that is awkward about visitors gradually becomes isolating. Anybody considering us should come without an appointment, talk to residents and relatives away from staff, and press us for specifics about what has changed and what has not yet.
