About Us

Ayletts House is a residential care home in Chelmsford, Essex. We are home to older people, both for the long term and for shorter respite stays when a family carer needs a rest.

The basics are what we are for. Food somebody wants to eat, a room they are comfortable in, help that comes without a wait, and time to themselves.

We want staff to know enough about a person that the conversation goes somewhere. That means asking families for the history and actually reading it, not filing it.

Respite guests are properly welcomed rather than merely accommodated. We ask beforehand how the person likes things done.

When somebody is admitted to hospital we stay involved rather than handing over and waiting. Familiar information travels with them.

Alcohol, smoking and other adult choices are treated as adult choices. We advise where it helps and we do not lecture.

We keep the number of people involved in somebody's personal care small, because being helped by a stream of different faces is wearing.

Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Our own standard is whether people here are treated as adults with a history.
