About Aspen Grange Care Home

Aspen Grange Care Home is in Braintree and we provide both residential and nursing care under one roof. That matters to the people who live here, because it means that if someone's health needs change over time they do not have to move somewhere unfamiliar. Nurses are on duty day and night. Most of our residents are older people, and many are living with dementia. For them we keep the day calm and familiar, keep the same staff working with the same people and take time to understand what somebody means when speech has become difficult. Rushing a person with dementia never saves anybody time, so we plan on the basis that things take as long as they take. Nursing lets us manage medication, wound and pressure care and conditions that need close monitoring here, and somebody who becomes unwell is seen straight away rather than waiting for an appointment. But nursing is the foundation, not the purpose. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and who comes to visit, and meals are cooked here with nobody hurried along. Respite stays are available, both for people needing support for a short period after a hospital admission and for family carers who need a genuine break. Families are welcome here and we would rather hear a concern early. Please ring us if you would like to visit.
