About Mel Healthcare
Mel Healthcare provides care in people's own homes in Waltham Abbey and the surrounding part of Essex. We support older people, including those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and younger adults whose care needs sit alongside work, study and family life. Visits range from a short call in the morning to several hours of support each day, and the right arrangement often changes over time, so we review it honestly rather than leaving a package in place because it is what was agreed at the start. A home care visit is never only the task it was booked for. It is frequently the main contact somebody has in a day, and it is the point at which changes get noticed. A person eating less than last month. A bruise that was not there before. Somebody quieter or less steady than usual. Carers who know a household well see these things, which is why we try hard to send the same faces. We are honest about what we can take on, and we will say so if we are not the right fit for a household. If you would like to talk about support at home in this area, please get in touch and we will come out and discuss what would help.
