About 138-138a Mason Way
Mason Way is a residential care home in Waltham Abbey, Essex, and the people who live here are a varied group. Older people who need help with daily living. Adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Adults living with mental ill health. People with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Younger adults. Respite stays are available too. We are a household rather than a facility, and supporting a mix of people well depends on treating each of them as an individual rather than as a category. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things change. Some people here need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled place to live, company when they choose it, and a house that holds together through a difficult week. For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a preference, so we explain changes in advance, keep staffing consistent where we can, and take noise, light and busyness seriously. For residents with physical disabilities the emphasis is on equipment that fits and transfers handled safely and without embarrassment. Wherever possible we do things alongside people rather than for them, because a skill used is a skill kept. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and ask us whatever they need to know.
