Our High Ongar clients enjoy maintaining connections to local life, with Care Professionals accompanying them to their favourite spots across the Epping Forest district. We regularly support outings to the local garden centre for afternoon tea, visits to Bell Common for gentle walks, or trips to Memory Lane Cafes for specialist activities. Many clients look forward to a drive through the beautiful countryside around High Ongar, stopping at familiar landmarks that spark memories and conversation. Our Care Professionals are skilled at turning everyday local activities into meaningful experiences, whether it’s visiting North Weald Market or simply enjoying the seasonal changes in the village.
We are led by Victoria Rigby and our office team is based locally in Epping, making it easy for families to pop in for advice or arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss their specific needs. Our Care Professionals, all fully employed rather than contracted, receive comprehensive dementia training, including practical techniques for communication, managing changing behaviours, and creating meaningful moments. We believe strongly in supporting both the person living with dementia and their family members, offering guidance, a listening ear, and practical assistance during what can be a challenging journey. We regularly participate in the monthly themed Memory Lane Café, creating a relaxed social environment where clients can enjoy company and activities tailored to their interests. Our Care Professionals often accompany clients to the morning ‘Singing for the Brain’ sessions, which use music to stimulate positive memories and improve wellbeing. We produce a quarterly ‘What’s On Where’ handout highlighting dementia-friendly activities throughout Epping Forest, including soft bowls sessions, gentle exercise classes, and memory cafés that welcome people at all stages of the dementia journey. These local connections help our clients maintain social ties and community engagement, which research shows significantly benefits overall quality of life.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
