About 21 Mill Lane
We are 21 Mill Lane, a residential care home in Clacton on Sea, Essex. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities, including those living with sight or hearing loss, along with older people who need help with daily living. Support here is built around the person. We start with how somebody communicates, what they enjoy, what they find difficult and what they want to be able to do, and we write the plan from there. Some people need help with most of the day and others need very little, and both deserve the same thought in the planning. The building and the routine matter too. Accessible spaces, clear layouts, quiet areas and a predictable shape to the day remove a great deal of unnecessary difficulty, particularly for autistic residents and for anyone who tires easily. For people living with mental health conditions we plan for the harder periods as well as the settled ones. Life here should look like life anywhere else. People go out, see family and friends, choose their own activities and keep up interests they had before moving in. Respite stays are available so that families can take a planned break. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
