Latest guidance reviews the need for isolation for non-Hospital admissions

The Government has announced that admissions are of less risk if a person has been appropriately vaccinated and the person is being admitted from their own Home and not from another Care Home or Hospital setting.

Residents may be admitted to a care home from the community without needing to complete a 14-day self-isolation period, if they satisfy the requirements. Ask for details.

Keeping things personal

At Mellish House Residential Home

The welcoming surroundings at Mellish House Residential Home are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.

We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.

Working closely with GPs and other health specialists, we make sure individuals are as comfortable as possible. We understand and respect their wishes and provide support for families too.

Permanent Care

From the day our residents move in, we do everything to help them settle in as well as offering support for the whole family.

Respite Care

Respite stays can be tailored to each person’s individual care needs which can be from a few days or for as long as is needed.

Convalescence Care

Support to get people feeling their best before returning home after time in hospital, an operation or a period of illness.

Day Care

Day care offers a friendly, refreshing option for people still living at home, but who might need some extra help, or just want a change of scenery during the day.

We are proud to be the only care home group to have our own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds.
