ECL Maldon - Chapter House Day Centre

Our customers help us to devise a full weekly programme of activities.

As well as having fun, we endeavour to link activities to outcomes that are meaningful to you; such as gaining important life skills, increasing your knowledge of the world around us, and improving your physical and mental wellbeing.

Our staff are fully trained to support you to learn new independent living skills as part of an ASDAN qualification.

Cooking is a favourite activity at ECL Maldon, which involves researching the recipes often using computers or tablets, creating shopping lists, shopping for ingredients and using weighing and measuring skills. Some of our customers follow a Slimming World diet, so as part of our cooking sessions we explore healthy eating options.

A chair-fit instructor runs fitness sessions at our centre to help maintain physical and mental wellbeing.

A local community group visits the centre weekly to keep our garden looking nice, which is an opportunity for the keen gardeners amongst us to get involved.

Bingo, karaoke, and quizzes are a much loved part of our activity programme and encourage numeracy skills, confidence building, and general knowledge.

We have a highly trained and experienced team of staff that support adults with a wide range of needs and age groups.

Our staff receive specialist training to support those with more complex health needs, profound and multiple learning disabilities, and autism, including:

• Dysphagia and modified diets
• Epilepsy and administering of seizure medication such as Buccal midazolam
• Moving and handling for customers who use wheelchairs and those requiring hoisting
• Communication awareness
• Sensory awareness
• Mental health awareness
• Behaviours that challenge

At ECL we work with you to identify your goals and put together a tailored plan unique to you. One of our team will assess the level of support you need, and prices will be based on the recommendations, along with how many sessions you would like to attend.
