About Mundy House

Mundy House is a residential care home in Basildon in Essex. We support older people, including those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people whose sight or hearing is impaired, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We want this to be somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been put, and that shows in fairly ordinary ways. People arrange their own rooms. They get up and go to bed when it suits them. They eat what they like and decide how much of the day they want to spend in company. Visitors call in without ceremony. Staff help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility, and where sight or hearing has changed we pay attention to the practical adjustments that make a real difference, from lighting and contrast to giving information in a way somebody can genuinely take in. For people living with dementia we work on familiarity and time. The same staff, a day with a steady rhythm, surroundings that make sense, and space to respond properly when somebody is confused or anxious rather than hurrying them along. We ask relatives about a person's life because that history is usually the key to understanding what they are asking for. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see the home, meet the team and ask us whatever you want to know, including the awkward questions.
