I cannot recommend this care home enough. Last year my dad received respite care he had dementia and was dealt with care, compassion, dignity and humour. Recently my mum has too needed respite care because of a broken hip. She too has loved it there. Everyone who works there and I mean everyone...
It really has become a second home not only to mum but the wider family.
Keep up the wonderful work you do at Mountfitchet. This is certainly how a care home should be!

My mum has been here for 4 months and has settled in well and has been well cared for by the caring staff. In fact she has said she loves it here and thinks of it as home. The quality of the food is excellent with a good choice available. Her room is comfortable and she regards this as her home...
The staff all are helpful and show great empathy, sometimes clothes get mixed up, despite labelling which means that mum can be wearing other residents clothes which is not always ideal. Overall view is this is a great place for her.

My mum came to his home about 8 weeks ago. From the moment she arrived she has received the most outstanding level of care and compassion. As a family we have felt so supported too as a hard decision to place a loved one into a home. There has never been a time where I felt Mum wasn't given the best care by every single member of staff. They smile, they genuinely care and she is safe. The activities every day are brillinat too. This home is beyond our expectations. Would highly recommend.

I have very little idea about Care Homes, however I was pleasantly surprised on viewing Mountfitchet House. From the first look around the building outside, gardens and parking areas to the inside. The inside communal areas, TV sitting room, dining area and kitchen, bedrooms with au suite all cleaned every day. Staff on hand at all times to help in a very caring way both my wife and I were happy that she would be look after very well, which has turned out to be so in the last five months. As for the ratings I think it would be wrong for me to mark them all excellent. Facilities there can always be more, the food and drink I dont know it is good but it's not relished by all, activities aren't all enjoyed. Value for money, it's a lot and I don't know what we will do when it runs out. I have seen other homes but they appeared not to have as high standards.
