Home > News > Brainkind’s long-term brain injury residential home in Aylesbury is 30 years old
Mayor of Aylesbury Councillor Alan Sherwell joined staff, people we support and their families at Kent House’s 30th Birthday party.
Kent House is Brainkind’s specialist long-term brain injury residential home in Aylesbury. It offers innovative rehabilitation and ongoing support to enable people to thrive after a brain injury.
Kent House was opened on 28th April 1994 by HRH The Duchess of Kent and has been operating for 30 years. The party today was to celebrate its 30th birthday and mark the end of a refurbishment programme.
There have been many changes over the last 30 years including more provision for long term residential care and the introduction of four bungalows for rehabilitation.
The recent refurbishment has also included work from our personalisation lead. This means some of the rooms of the people we support have been adapted to meet their specific needs in terms of sensory and other equipment.
In 2022 Kent House won the silver award for Aylesbury in Bloom for the gardens created by staff and residents. This has continued with support from apprentices at Aylesbury College.
Thank you to all the staff and people we support for helping to organise our 30th birthday party and launch of the Kent House following refurbishment. There have been lots of improvements to the service including work to our gardens, personalised bedrooms for the people we support and a new sensory room and coffee bar.Claire Locke, Service Manager Kent House, Brainkind
