The CQC report praised Braintree Mews Care Home for its focus on person-centred care, addressing individual preferences to meet residents’ specific needs and promoting dignity and independence.
Residents at the care home expressed their satisfaction, with one stating, “The staff really listen to me and make sure I get the care I want.” Another resident added, “I feel respected here; they treat us like family.”
The report also highlighted the wide variety of engaging activities offered that promote mental engagement and build social connections. Families of residents echoed this sentiment, with one relative commenting, “I love seeing my family member so happy and engaged in activities with others.”
The CQC recognised the ongoing staff training at Braintree Mews Care Home, ensuring that the team remains well-equipped to provide high-quality, responsive care, and the management was praised for its commitment to enhancing safety and service delivery standards, consistently striving for improvement and excellence.
