What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Mountfitchet House care home.

Thank you to the team at Mountfitchet House for a very enjoyable evening last Thursday. Both the food and the entertainment were very good and reflected the amount of work you must all have put into it.

David Watkins, Father of Sian Watkins, July 2025

'Prom Night' was a wonderful evening - we really enjoyed the delicious food and drinks. It was so nice to see Mum dancing and happy. It was a really special evening!

Emma Thomas, Daughter of Caroline Randall, July 2025

Thank you so much for the amazing Prom Night. The dedication shown and work put in by the whole team to provide such a wonderful evening for the residents and their families was quite remarkable. Delicious food followed by dancing which was enjoyed by all, particularly my little Grandchildren. Roxy had a tear as we went home because she ‘didn’t want to stop partying’.

Ian Holmes, Son of Lilian Holmes, July 2025

They have all kinds of activities and entertainment options for the residents, every day, mornings and afternoons. The staff provide plenty of activities designed for people with different interests and capabilities, and they bring in entertainers and children from the local schools... so lovely that they have this option to engage with the outside world. Residents can choose what they want to participate in and the staff do their best to encourage involvement with things they enjoy.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The carers are lovely. They know all about our family and they speak with our loved one about things they know interest her. She has dementia, so it's wonderful the staff are able to speak with her about her life. They are always smiling and they make jokes with her... they treat her like family.
