Your Care in Our Hands
Situated in a pleasant residential area near Maldon, Brewster Day Centre is a purpose built centre attached to Brewster House residential Care home. The centre caters for up to fifteen clients Monday – Friday from 9.30am-3.30pm, and accommodates not only for older people and those living with dementia, but also offers a break for carers.
The centre is a short walk away from local shops and amenities and features two large communal areas. In addition, an enclosed patio garden is available, which is popular for sitting in during warm weather. There is also a vegetable patch where clients are encouraged to grow vegetables and flowers.
Aims and Objectives
- To provide the support needed to clients, and their carers, to enable them to remain living in their homes
- To create an environment where people with specific needs can be assisted to improve their quality of life
- To create a community amongst the clients who use the day centre
- To provide a wide array of activities
- To seek out relevant ways to integrate clients into the wider community
Activities
Our philosophy is based on stimulation through activity. As well as the enjoyment that comes from social contact, Brewster Day centre also offers a range of activities for our clients. These activities may include;
- Arts and Crafts
- Seated Exercises
- Baking or Flower Arranging
- Therapeutic activities such as Hand Massage
We also invite clients to assist with light household duties such as washing up, folding small linen items or laying the table.
Meals
As well as having a cup of a tea and a chat, our day centre offers meals to those who attend. Our catering team prepares meals from fresh produce to ensure that all those in our care receive a nutritious and balanced diet, and special dietary needs can be catered for. We like to involve our clients throughout the year in assisting with menu changes. Sometimes the meals may reflect a theme or activity for variety.

Whilst you are here we can arrange for a chiropodist and/or optician to visit for very reasonable prices.
The Day Centre also has hairdressing services; should you wish to have your hair done whilst you are here, please arrange this in advance with the hairdressers.
We also provide a Bathing Service for a small fee, although these facilities are always quite busy, so please give us as much advanced notice as possible.
Staffing
All of our staff undertake cultural training and development; with a particular focus on the needs of people living with dementia.
