Meet The Manager

Iulia Landt is General Manager at St Mary's Court.

St Mary’s Court Care Home, located in the peaceful Essex town of Braintree, is a warm and welcoming place for those in need of excellent care. The 90-bedroom home is surrounded by picturesque scenery and well-kept, accessible landscaped gardens. Our residents may even spot one of our friendly peacocks that live on the grounds.

St. Mary’s Court provides support for people living with a range of differing health needs, including residential, nursing, and dementia care. It offers care on a long-term, short-term, and respite basis.

You can always count on our dedicated and qualified staff to be there for you and help you make the most of your surroundings. Through personalised care, we strive to make every resident’s stay as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible.

At St Mary's Court, we believe in empowering our residents and promoting their self-worth, independence, and mobility. We believe the home is an excellent choice for elderly adults who require additional support.

Our core values of trust, empowerment, accountability, and integrity guide everything we do. But don't just take our word for it; visit this warm and welcoming Braintree care home for yourself.
