Meet The Manager
Rachel is Marlow at The New Deanery Care Home.
My profile is currently under construction as I am working on putting together a comprehensive overview of my experiences and achievements. I look forward to sharing more about myself soon.
The New Deanery is a 93-bedroom care home set on glorious six-acre grounds, situated in Braintree. The home provides a safe and comfortable ‘home away from home’ environment and combines this with high-quality care for its residents, with engaging lifestyle activities.
There is a significant emphasis on motivating people to maintain their self-worth, independence, and mobility. For elderly adults who are physically fragile, the well-kept grounds, easily accessible gardens, and range of quiet spaces make this home an ideal location. Our residents and visitors may even spot one of the 6 wonderful and friendly peacocks that live on the grounds.
Residents can always count on the committed team of qualified staff to help them make the most of their surroundings. The New Deanery is committed to providing high-quality care and support to its residents.
