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?
