About us
ECL Braintree is a forward thinking Day Centre which offers support and day care for older people. We support customers who may have additional needs that come as a result of decreased mobility, or who are living with Alzheimer's or Dementia. Activities within the Centre and outside in the community are offered as part of your day with us. With our Centre nestled in the heart of Braintree, you will enjoy lunches out, bowling, trips to the cinema, swimming and coffee stops which are all part of our activities outside the Centre. In-house we offer cooking sessions, sensory activities, music sessions, arts and crafts. Individual programmes are tailored to your individual needs and personal goals. Our Trusted Assessors will help you to develop your own plan and our care team will support you step by step throughout the journey to follow that plan and reach your goals.

Most importantly we provide an environment which stimulates engagement and relationships for our customers who without this would be socially isolated.
