The Personal Touch
At our care home in Sudbury, we operate to only the highest standards of care.

From how they spend their days, to what they like to eat and when, we’re here to make their stay with us as much as a home-from-home as possible.
We encourage independence, giving our residents the choice as to how Mellish House is run. 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.

It’s these personal touches that can make all the difference.
The local community is very important to Mellish House, I have worked hard to build a good reputation to make Mellish a home of choice, this includes an ‘Oustanding’ rating by CQC and a continuous care team who help deliver an excellent standards of care to our residents.
