About St Brendans Residential Home

St Brendans Residential Home is in Luton. We provide care for older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability and some younger adults. Respite stays are available too. Supporting a mixed group under one roof means we cannot run the home to a single pattern, and we do not try. What we aim for is a place where people are taken as they come and where support is built around the individual. Some residents want a very structured day. Others want the opposite, plenty of freedom and somewhere steady to come back to. Where someone has a physical disability we pay attention to equipment, access and the amount of help we offer, because being over assisted is a real loss and it creeps in easily. With dementia, familiar faces and a steady rhythm do most of the work, and we treat distress as something with a cause. Where mental ill health is part of the picture we work closely with community teams and raise concerns early. Respite stays suit family carers needing a break and people recovering after illness or hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit St Brendans and ask us anything.
