About Catherine Miller House
Catherine Miller House is a residential care home in Leigh On Sea. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and respite stays are part of what we do. Our priorities are plain: food worth eating, warm rooms, laundry that comes back with the right name in it, help that arrives without a long wait, and privacy when privacy is what somebody wants. Residents set their own hours rather than fitting ours. Dementia care here rests on knowing people. We ask relatives early for the history, the working life and the names, because those are what still connect when a great deal else has slipped, and without them we would be managing a condition rather than keeping company with a person. Food gets more thought than people expect. Appetite is often the first thing to go, and a meal that arrives cold, or needing help that has not come, quietly becomes a meal not eaten. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would far rather a relative raised something with us this week than mentioned it elsewhere next month.
