About Tudor House
We are Tudor House, a care home in Colchester in Essex. We provide residential care for adults with a wide range of needs, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays, which can be a real help to families who need a planned break. Because the people living here have very different needs, we plan support one person at a time. What helps someone with a learning disability feel confident is not the same as what helps someone with dementia feel calm, and we would rather do both properly than offer one routine and hope it fits everybody. In practice that means paying attention to detail: how somebody likes to be spoken to, what upsets them, what they can do for themselves and would rather not have done for them. Communication is a large part of our work. Where someone uses signs, pictures, gestures or simply a look to tell us something, we learn it, we write it down so new staff know it too, and we check that we have understood rather than assuming. Colchester gives us plenty to do beyond our own front door, and we support people to get out, keep up with interests and see family and friends as often as they wish. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our last inspection. We are glad of it, and we still hold regular conversations with residents and relatives about what could be better here.
