About Broadoaks
Broadoaks is a residential care home in Rochford in Essex. We care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we welcome respite guests as well as people moving in for the longer term. What we offer is fairly simple and we would rather describe it honestly than dress it up. A comfortable home, staff who are around and know people well, help with the practical things that have become difficult, and a day that belongs to the person living it. People here choose when to get up, what to eat, whether to join in with what is going on and whether they would rather be quiet. For people living with dementia, we work on familiarity above all. The same staff, the same rhythms, surroundings that make sense, and time to respond properly when somebody is confused or distressed. We ask families to tell us about a person's history because it is nearly always the key to understanding what they need in the moment. We know that moving a relative into a care home is a decision most families agonise over, and we try to make the early weeks as steady as possible, keeping in touch, welcoming visitors and being straightforward when something needs discussing. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and see the home, meet the team and ask us whatever you want to know.
