Accommodation

At Brandon Care our homes are unique. They each offer something different to match all tastes and needs. But whichever home is chosen residents can be sure of the same high quality care. 

All our rooms are well appointed with plenty of space, a pleasant view, comfortable furniture, an en-suite bathroom, television, WiFi coverage throughout and a private telephone line. We encourage residents to personalise their room by bringing their pictures, ornaments and pieces of furniture from home. Our aim is for our residents to live within the home as they would in their own.

Outdoor spaces

To be outdoors in beautiful surroundings and connecting with nature is such a valuable part of our wellbeing, to re-energise and stimulate the senses. All our homes have wonderful outside spaces so that residents can enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor living. We have beautifully planted gardens for residents to sit and enjoy, or if they wish they can participate in their own spot of gardening.

Our gardens offer wonderful sitting areas to encourage al fresco dining in the summer months, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings, relaxing water features, glorious trees, colourful flowers and stunning views. There is never a dull moment as the gardens change with the seasons. 

Dining

For many mealtimes are the highlight of their day, so we aim to ensure that our dining experience is relaxing and enjoyable.  

Our team of passionate and well-trained chefs are dedicated to creating meals which are freshly prepared onsite using quality and often local ingredients. Our menus are varied, seasonal and are designed to include residents’ requests and suggestions. If a resident has a favourite meal or recipe then they can share it with the chefs who can prepare it for them to share with others. 

Starting the day with breakfast, residents can choose porridge or a selection of cereals, fruit salad, prunes, yogurt, fruit juices and toast with their favourite topping. 

For lunchtime, we offer at least two hot options, served with vegetables or salad. There will be at least two options for dessert.   

Afternoon tea is served with homemade cakes or biscuits.  

At supper, we offer soup, sandwiches, and a daily special.  

Tempting snacks and a variety of drinks are always available throughout the day.  

Chefs ensure that meals are attractively presented to encourage a healthy and balanced diet.  We cater for all special dietary needs.

Alongside our three main mealtimes we also offer morning coffee/tea with a snack and afternoon tea with a selection of our homemade cakes. There are also drink and snack stations available in the homes for residents to help themselves to throughout the day. 

Having the freedom to choose what we want to eat is important for wellbeing, so we offer plenty of choice! 

Active living

At Brandon Care we believe in a holistic approach to wellbeing and to helping you get the most out of life. Across all our homes we promote the following five steps.

• Connecting with others
