We believe that the care you receive should not only be tailored to your specific needs and abilities, but also to your personal wishes. From the outset, we will ensure that you are actively involved in the decision making, planning, and delivery of your care.
Moving into a care home does not mean that you have to miss out on doing the things you love. If gardening is your thing, our outdoor areas have wheelchair access and raised flower beds. You can also look forward to some pamper time in our in-house hair and beauty salon.
Set in a quiet residential area in the Essex market town of Braintree, Aspen Grange has great transport links. The home has a bus stop right outside, onsite parking, and is within easy reach of Chelmsford (13 miles), and Colchester (18 miles).
I joined Aspen Grange as Manager at the end of January 2020. Having worked in the care sector for over 20 years, I have extensive experience as the registered manager of three previous care homes. These include residential and nursing settings, including supporting people living with dementia.
I have personal experience of looking after a family member with dementia, so I understand the impacts of the condition from both sides. My journey in care began as a care assistant 21 years ago, working my way to Home Manager, having achieved my Registered Managers award.
I am a firm believer in person-centred care to achieve a good quality of life for our residents. With the right care and environment, you can truly make a positive change in residents’ lives. I’m looking forward to working with my team and being part of the Aspen Grange Family.
