About Bennetts Castle Care Centre
Bennetts Castle Care Centre is a nursing home in Dagenham. Being registered for nursing care means we can support people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely meet, with qualified nurses working alongside our care team throughout. We care for older adults with ongoing medical conditions, managing medication, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort while helping with the everyday tasks of washing, dressing and moving about in a way that leaves people as independent as they can be. We keep in close contact with GPs and community health teams so that care is joined up rather than left to chance. Dementia care is a substantial part of our work, and what makes it go well is familiar staff, a settled routine and taking the time to learn what reassures each individual. We also care for younger adults whose conditions require nursing support, planning their days around their own interests. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break or extra support after a hospital discharge. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour, and we would always rather hear about a worry while it is still a small one.
