Mountfitchet House is a purpose-built care home set within the Essex countryside. The skilled and dedicated team delivers residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care and sensitive end of life care.

Located in a small village near Stansted, the home has great links to major motorways and a regular train service to London and Cambridge. The home is divided into four suites that create a 'home within a home' and has excellent facilities, such as a cinema room, pub, hair salon and café.

The team strives to ensure residents continue to lead fulfilling and enjoyable lives by getting to know each resident as an individual, so every aspect of their care can be tailored to their unique needs and tastes.

From the manager

“I started my career as a healthcare assistant before training and qualifying as a nurse. That was 24 years ago, and, since then, I’ve worked in the NHS and in the private sector. I’ve worked in many different areas of nursing, from paediatric intensive care to end of life and dementia care, and also in management. I joined Care UK because I wanted to bring my skills and experience to benefit an exciting and forward-thinking care organisation. I love the idea, at the heart of Care UK’s ethos, of fulfilling residents’ lives. I think it’s something everyone can understand and get behind. It motivates the entire team, whatever role they do. The best part of my role is seeing residents happy and satisfied, and seeing my team’s pride in the way they help others to live happy lives and achieve their wishes. Away from work I enjoy all sorts of things from holidays and sightseeing, to gardening, baking, watching sports, and going to the theatre, art galleries and museums. ”
