Home manager Alexander Bragg said: “I would like to thank everyone for making our grand opening so memorable.

“To all the businesses, the public, our residents and their families - without you the event would not have been as amazing as it was.

“The day was a great success, enjoyed by all, and enabled us to showcase ourselves as true leaders in luxury care services for Braintree and the surrounding areas.

“We look forward to continuing our growing success over the coming months and we will be working closely with the whole community to achieve this goal.”

Mrs Garrod said: “I was delighted to officially open the Braintree Mews Care Home alongside Councillor Walters and receive a tour of the building, as well as meeting the lovely staff and their residents.

“I was particularly pleased to see that additional considerations had been undertaken for residents’ privacy, such as the discreet lockable medical cabinets in each room.

“It is indeed a lovely building with lots of facilities for people to enjoy their twilight years.”

Rooms cost £1,395 a week.
