Our support
MioCare Group – supporting people to get the most out of life
Someone’s referral to our Residential Reablement Service can be made for a variety of reasons. For example, recovery after a fall, an acute illness or an operation. A short stay at Medlock Court can mean someone avoiding going into hospital unnecessarily, or returning home more quickly after a hospital stay. Where possible, the aim is to reduce dependence on others for daily living, so that the people we support can continue to live as independently as possible. We encourage people to engage in the reablement process and work towards their agreed goals. Everyone’s needs and goals are individual, and we do our best to provide person-centred care providing the best possible outcomes.
The process
Download our ‘Your guide, to your care’ booklet, which is given to people when they arrive at Medlock Court.
It describes in detail what to expect from a stay at Medlock, and what the care, support and overall reablement journey can look like, stage-by-stage.

Medlock Court’s resident artist heads home
We’re thankful to Audrey for the feedback she shared with us upon receiving care and support through our Residential Enablement Service.
She made quick progress while with us, and has returned home in plenty of time to prepare for Christmas. But that’s not before leaving a thoughtful gift for everyone at Medlock to enjoy.
“They care for you so well at Medlock Court. I don’t how they get so many caring people in one spot. It’s been amazing.”

Making room for contemplation and reflection at Medlock Court
This International Stress Awareness Day we want to highlight some great work done at Medlock Court, where an underused space has been repurposed into a relaxing (and popular!) ‘Contemplation Room’.
“Mental health and physical health are both so important, and so it’s good to see a room like this here. It could be useful for many different people who spend time in this building.”

“I would like to say how impressed I am by Medlock Court, and with the help of every one of them here. They have never said ‘no’ to anything, and they’re there for you in a minute. They’re kind, have got lots of empathy, and it’s meant a lot to me. They are very respectful and I just can’t believe how well I’m feeling! I’m going home now, much more refreshed and well-balanced.”

Person supported by MioCare
“My Mum recently spent a couple of weeks at Medlock Court. We would like to thank you and your team for an amazing service. She was very well-looked after from day one. The care received from all the staff there was the best! She is registered blind as well as having poor mobility. She was treated with respect and patience, and as a family we felt she was in the best place to recover from her accident. We would like to thank everyone at Medlock, and make it known we appreciate everything you did for my Mum and everyone else there. Keep up the great work.”
