About Nationwide Community Care - 35 Mede Way
We are the Mede Way home in Colchester, Essex, part of Nationwide Community Care. 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. We are careful that helping does not slide into doing things for people that they would rather do themselves. 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. 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. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
