About Mountfitchet House
Mountfitchet House is in Stansted, Essex. We provide both residential and nursing care, which means we can look after people who mainly need help with daily life and people whose health needs call for a registered nurse on duty at any hour, without somebody having to move on when their needs change. We support older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and younger adults. Nursing cover allows us to manage complex medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and to watch health closely enough that changes are caught early. Where somebody is nearing the end of their life, it means comfort and familiar faces rather than a move somewhere unfamiliar. The clinical side is only part of the job, though. A home like this can drift into being a place where everything is done to people and almost nothing is chosen by them, and we work against that. Residents decide when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who visits. For people living with dementia we keep the day in a familiar order and the staff group as steady as we can. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to arrange a visit.
