Dementia care breaks at St Mary’s Court

If you are a full-time carer for an elderly partner, spouse, relative or friend you need a break sometimes too. We provide specialist respite care in Essex for your loved ones at our residential care home in Braintree.

As a carer you might need a break for your own well-being, to recharge your batteries on a holiday or family event which means you can’t provide the care you normally would to someone.

    Testimonials

    I just wanted to say thank God there are people like you working in the care system that give us the knowledge that not everyone is bad. I thank my lucky stars that you were on Ash unit to look after Ian and care and protect him. Now I truly know you are my guardian angel.

    Ian is at home this weekend. He doesn’t speak much now, just the odd word, but he likes me to sing to him and he tries to join in. I don’t think we will be hitting the big time with our voices!!!! I just love being around him – he is my hero and I love him. I hope you and your family are well and happy. Thank you for being you. Lots of love, Jane”

The buildings and grounds are well maintained and reflect the high standards of care taken throughout the care village. My wife’s dignity is respected at all times and her comfort is always the main focus.”
