Food and drink is available to purchase with a freshly prepared hot meal available each day.Our approach to your care Activities at our Centre are focused on maintaining independence and improving wellbeing.

We provide the opportunity to take part in a wide range of enjoyable and stimulating social activities; both onsite and out amongst the local community. We recognise that carers need support too.

Our services are tailored to the needs of carers as well as our customers because we know that time away from each other is important.

Our highly skilled staff create a warm, happy and positive atmosphere and are specialists in supporting older people with learning disabilities, sensory impairments, dementia and Alzheimer's.

A recent customer at ECL Chelmsford had a decline with food and nutrition and was referred to us for support in line with the Care Act 2014.

Our staff worked closely with both the customer and their family over a period of time and slowly, each day they attended, the customer gradually increased their intake with more of a variety of both food and drink, and eventually became comfortable asking for extra helpings of tea and biscuits.

The customer really engaged in this process as they were enjoying their time at the centre.

This may sound small, but it was a huge step for the individual customer resulting in a positive outcome and praise from a concerned and now relieved family.

Pricing

At ECL we work with you to identify your goals and put together a tailored plan unique to you.
