About Us

Maldon Lodge is a residential care home in Colchester, Essex. We support older people who need help with daily life and adults with mental health needs, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who need residential care for a short period. Bringing together people at different stages of life and with different needs works because we plan with each person individually. Somebody rebuilding after a difficult period needs something quite different from an older resident who can no longer manage alone, and both should be able to live here on their own terms. Everyone decides their own basics. When to get up, what to eat, whether they want company or their own room and their own company. Personal care, where it is needed, is given quietly and at the person's own pace, and rooms are furnished with people's own belongings. Where someone has mental health needs, we agree in advance what a difficult patch looks like for them and what they would like us to do about it, so nobody is improvising at the worst moment. We would far rather step in early and lightly than late and heavily. Health needs are managed alongside local GPs and community teams. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We are registered with them and work to their standards. Please come and visit us in Colchester.
