Meet The Manager
Russ Kent is Home Manager at Breme Residential Care Home.
With 35 years of experience in social care, I took the significant step of becoming a Care Home Manager in 2022, driven by a deep passion for providing high-quality, person-centred care. I lead with empathy, dedication, and a strong commitment to delivering excellence in everything we do.
With a well-established team of highly trained staff, some of whom have worked here for over 20 years, Forefaulds is a care home with a genuinely warm family feel.
The dedicated team at Forefaulds Care Home provides dementia care, nursing care, palliative and pre-bookable respite care.
We renovated our nursing home in 2022, creating a perfect environment for both permanent and temporary residents.
With beautifully decorated bedrooms and our bright yet cosy dining and lounge areas, Forefaulds really is a home from home for our residents. Take a look at our photo gallery or virtual tour to see for yourself.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Breme’s beautiful sensory gardens are a space where the team can support the residents to continue gardening. With our own poly tunnel, which is sheltered from the main sunlight, residents can sow seeds at the raised working bench come rain or shine. It means people who are in wheelchairs can still enjoy gardening in the comfort of their chairs. Elsewhere in the care home we have our very own hairdressing salon. A local Bromsgrove stylist visits every week for appointments with the residents, who love to feel pampered and fully indulge in some 'me' time. And so, they should! |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Members of our dedicated team deliver residential care and dementia care with true devotion and kindness, providing inspiring and engaging activities every single day. We have an activities room which serves as a hub of the care home. It's a large and welcoming space where we host a busy timetable of activities and events, as well as helping residents to rekindle pastimes they once enjoyed. As you can tell no two days are the same. For instance, during Guide Dogs Week we enjoyed a spot of animal therapy. Gorgeous Labradors, including a puppy and their trainers from the Guide Dogs for The Blind Association for Redditch and Bromsgrove popped in especially for our residents. During Wimbledon, we fully embraced the spirit of the occasion by wearing bright coloured visors for tennis-themed armchair exercises. Some of our residents like to bake up a storm for charitable tea parties, enjoy arts and crafts with local volunteers as well as choral performances from local schoolchildren. We proactively empower our residents to be active members of our community in the town and wider Worcestershire area. Staff support them to continue to stay connected to groups that are important to them, from their local church to knitting clubs, as well as welcoming new and familiar faces into the home every week. The doors are often thrown open for community events. We've even hosted our very own beach party themed virtual cruise in the heart of the home, recreating the flavours and cultures of everywhere from America and Australia to Barbados and Switzerland. We are also proud to offer Gateway care services to our community. Gateway offers a range of services to people in the community, supporting independent living through occupational and recreational sessions and activities. We promote living well in later life, starting friendships, learning new skills and most importantly having fun. |
