What is Brendoncare Alton like?

Brendoncare Alton provides residential and nursing care for 80 people, as well as care for people living with dementia. A close care complex adjoins the home providing the independence and security of home ownership, together with access to many caring and communal facilities, giving peace of mind.

Whilst our home in Alton is large, each household is run like it's own small nursing home. This means each household has a dedicated nurse, team of carers and facilities.

For example, each household has its own small laundry room for the resident's needs, in addition to the larger laundry serving the whole building. The medication rounds are not done via a trolly; each resident has their own locked medication cupboard.

Who are Brendoncare?

Brendoncare is a charity which provides a range of connected services for people in later life including care homes, extra care housing, community support services and clubs across the South of England.

We are people-driven, focusing on empowerment, inclusivity and understanding. We aim to ensure that whoever comes into the Brendoncare environment - whether as a member, resident, volunteer or colleague – they are able to live their life to the fullest potential.

Our values reflect who we are – together we are kind, empowering, dedicated and forward thinking. We need people who really want to make a difference to the lives of people in later life to join us.

In return, we will support you to grow and flourish as you are welcomed to the Brendoncare team.
