About Myland House
Myland House is a residential care home in Colchester, Essex. We look after older people who need support with daily living, along with younger adults whose needs make living independently difficult, including people with physical disabilities. Our aim is an ordinary, settled household. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines, decide how they spend the day and see visitors when they choose. There is company for anyone who wants it and somewhere quiet for anyone who does not, and meals are planned around what people actually enjoy eating. Support is planned with the person. We look at what somebody can manage themselves, what has become difficult and what they want help with, and we are careful that helping does not turn into taking over. Where someone wants to keep doing something for themselves, that is usually worth far more than the time it would save us to do it for them. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to support somebody while they regain confidence after illness. We keep relatives closely involved, because they want to be and because what they know about the person is more useful than any assessment form. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and see us and ask us whatever you need to ask.
