Care Homes in Essex

Types of Care

Our dedicated givers support the exceptional care we offer, ensuring our residents' comfort and safety. Our digitised system allows us to review specialised care plans for everyone constantly. Residential care is an ideal option for older people looking for extra support in their day-to-day lives due to reduced mobility and isolation. Our specialised dementia care is supported by the best practices and latest medical research, which enriches the lives of our residents. Respite care is perfect for shorter stays, especially for those recovering from operations or giving primary caregivers a well-deserved rest.

Richard Lawson (Regional Manager for South of England)

Rich joined Danforth in 2024, bringing a diverse career spanning social work, hospitality, and entertainment. From managing hotels and theatres to working on cruise ships and radio, his experience is as varied as it is valuable.

Returning to health and social care 15 years ago, Rich has held leadership roles with both national providers and independent companies. Now a Regional Manager, he is passionate about supporting teams and ensuring outstanding care.

A lover of music, theatre, and the coast, Rich is just as happy with a good book at home. For him, care is all about people—and always has been.

Scott Carter-Brace (Training Manager for South West of England)

Scott joined Danforth Care Homes in 2024 as Regional Learning & Development Manager for the South West, bringing 12 years of experience in the care sector. He began by introducing exercise programmes to care homes before training staff across the UK in well-being and meaningful activities for residents.

Post-pandemic, Scott focused on staff training, learning, and development, working with major care providers to enhance care standards. He also founded a live-streaming platform for care homes, now run by his wife.

Outside of work, Scott enjoys staying active and spending time with his children at their sports and activities.
