About ECL North
ECL North Essex supports people in their own homes across Colchester and the surrounding area. We work with older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, adults with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Home care should fit into a life that already exists rather than rearrange it. We begin by asking how the day usually runs, what has become difficult and what somebody can still do perfectly well and would rather keep doing. Plans written that way tend to stick, and they make the support feel like help rather than intrusion. Our visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals, help around the house and getting out to appointments or into town. A good deal of our work also involves helping people regain what they can do for themselves after illness or a spell in hospital, which is slower in the moment than taking over and worth far more in the end. Continuity is where we concentrate our effort. A familiar carer who knows the house, the routine and the person is worth more than any amount of paperwork, and that matters most where dementia or reduced sight and hearing are involved. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
