Older Person Care

We specialise in compassionate residential care for older adults (65+). Our experienced care team helps with personal care, mobility, medication, and all daily needs, while encouraging independence and dignity. Residents live in a secure environment, where we provide 24 ‑ hour support and monitoring for safety. Nutritious home-cooked meals are prepared daily by our in-house chef, and we arrange visits from a chiropodist, hairdresser, optician, and other specialists as needed. A rich programme of activities, ranging from games and quizzes to outings and entertainers, keeps everyone engaged and happy. Families can be confident that their loved one is respected, well-cared-for, and as comfortable as possible at Moulsham.

Dementia Care

(Mild, Moderate, Advanced)

We provide specialist dementia care at every stage. For mild dementia, we use familiar routines and engaging memory activities (like puzzles, music, and reminiscence therapy) to help maintain cognitive skills. As dementia progresses to moderate or advanced stages, our team provides extra support and reassurance: we focus on safety (secure areas, discreet monitoring) and soothing routines to ease anxiety. Staff are specially trained to understand dementia behaviours and needs, adapting care plans individually. Throughout, we maintain a homely, calm atmosphere to reduce confusion. Families can feel reassured that their loved one receives patient, person-centred care tailored to their level of dementia, promoting dignity and quality of life.

Learning Disability / Autism

Our home is experienced in caring for adults with learning disabilities or autism. We respect each person’s unique strengths and challenges, providing individualised care plans and plenty of one-on- one attention. Staff are trained to assist with communication, daily living skills and social activities, creating a supportive, structured environment. Moulsham “provides care to a wide range of individuals including those with [learning disabilities]”, which reflects our confidence in meeting diverse needs. We focus on social inclusion and personal growth through meaningful activities and community outings. Families can trust that their loved one will be treated with respect and encouragement, living in a place where they can thrive.

Physical Disability

Residents with physical disabilities receive full support and accessibility. Our purpose-built accommodation includes lifts and stairlifts, plus wheelchair- accessible layouts throughout the home. Ground-floor rooms are available for those with mobility challenges. Trained carers assist with transfers, exercises and personal care, following each person’s physiotherapy or mobility plan. Adaptive equipment and supportive routines help maintain as much independence as possible. Families can be assured that Moulsham prioritises safety and choice: each resident’s living space is arranged for comfort and freedom of movement, and help is always on hand whenever needed.

Mental Health Conditions

We offer understanding, compassionate care for residents with mental health needs. Our staff create a calm, supportive atmosphere where each person’s feelings and experiences are respected. We work with healthcare professionals to ensure any psychiatric or counselling needs are met, and we encourage daily routines and social activities to promote wellbeing. Whether someone is coping with anxiety, depression or another condition, our team is trained to listen and provide emotional support. Families will find that Moulsham’s welcoming community helps residents feel safe and accepted, with care plans tailored to their individual mental health requirements.

Visual / Hearing Impairment

Moulsham Home adapts to support residents with sensory impairments. For vision loss, we use clear signage, good lighting and orientation assistance so residents can navigate confidently. For hearing loss, staff communicate clearly, use hearing aids or portable amplifiers as needed, and ensure that the sound environment is comfortable (e.g. using hearing loops at activity areas). We also arrange large-print materials and visual alerts. Our team integrates these adaptations seamlessly into daily life, so your loved one stays connected and independent. Families can be confident that we address sensory needs proactively, ensuring safety and engagement for residents with sight or hearing challenges.

Respite Care (Short-term Stays)

Moulsham offers flexible short-term (respite) stays to give families a break or support a loved one after hospital discharge. During a respite stay, guests receive the same high- quality care and access to all services as our long-term residents. Our dedicated team quickly makes temporary residents feel at home, helping them settle into routines, providing personal care and meals, and involving them in activities. This service allows you to rest assured that your relative is safe and supported for as long as needed. Many families find peace of mind knowing that even a brief stay at Moulsham comes with our full attention and expertise.

Permanent Residential Care

Permanent care at Moulsham means making our home truly feel like home. Residents settle into a stable daily routine, build friendships with fellow residents, and form lasting bonds with staff. We provide ongoing support with personal care, health needs and daily tasks, adapting as those needs change over time. Every resident’s preferences and life story are honoured. As an example, favourite furniture and mementos can be brought into rooms to personalise the space. Families can trust that choosing Moulsham for long-term care means a commitment to continuity and comfort. Our friendly atmosphere and attentive staff help residents feel secure and valued for the long haul.

Palliative / End of Life Care

When end-of-life care is needed, Moulsham delivers the utmost compassion and comfort. Our experienced team works closely with healthcare professionals to manage pain and symptoms sensitively, keeping residents comfortable in their final days. We provide emotional and spiritual support, respecting each person’s wishes and dignity at every step. Loved ones are welcome at any time. Our visiting policy is open to allow families to be together. Families can rely on Moulsham to provide heartfelt, respectful care: we treat every resident with dignity and support both them and their family through this difficult time.

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

For residents recovering from a brain injury, we offer rehabilitation-focused care. We collaborate with physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists to create daily programmes. These may include exercises, memory and communication activities, and personal care routines adapted to current abilities. Our team supports safety and encouragement, helping residents build skills and confidence. Each plan is personalised, reflecting the resident’s goals and progress. Families can be reassured that we have experience with ABI care and will adjust our support as recovery continues, always aiming for the best possible quality of life.

Stroke Recovery

Moulsham also specialises in caring for people after a stroke. Our approach is similar to ABI rehabilitation: we provide physiotherapy exercises, speech and cognitive support, and careful medical monitoring. Nurses manage medications and observe health signs (like blood pressure and mobility), coordinating with doctors and therapists to optimize recovery. Daily activities are tailored to each resident’s current needs and challenges, promoting progress while ensuring safety. Families can have confidence that a loved one recovering from stroke will receive attentive, professional care focused on rehabilitation and maintaining independence.

COPD/Pulmonary Disease

Residents with chronic lung conditions such as COPD receive attentive respiratory care. We manage medications (inhalers, nebulizers, oxygen therapy) and work with respiratory therapists as needed. Our staff assist with breathing exercises and physical activity to help maintain lung function. We keep the home’s environment clean and smoke-free, with good ventilation and easy access to fresh air. Nurses regularly monitor breathing and oxygen levels, and we respond promptly to any changes in health. Families can trust that we are vigilant about respiratory care and will provide the necessary support for comfort and safety.
