About The Amwell

The Amwell in Melton Mowbray is a residential care home caring for older people, including those living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss. Our concern is that people are known rather than simply looked after. We take time at the start to learn about somebody's life, their family and their habits, and we use that to shape their days here, because care planned without that knowledge amounts to a list of tasks. Staff help with washing and dressing, with transfers and moving safely, with medication and with meals and drinks, and they are trained for the particular needs of the people who live here. For those with dementia we keep the day predictable and the surroundings familiar, and we work at understanding what somebody is communicating when words have become difficult. The home is somewhere people live. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here with a genuine choice, there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and visitors are welcome. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will arrange a time to suit you.
