Dedham

Dedham is a village within the borough of Colchester in northeast Essex, England, on the River Stour and the border of Essex and Suffolk.

Dedham is frequently rated as containing some of England’s most beautiful Lowland landscape, most particularly the water meadows of the River Stour, which passes along the northern boundary of the village forming the boundary between Essex and Suffolk.

Dedham is at the heart of ‘Constable Country’ – the area of England where Constable lived and painted. Constable attended the town’s Grammar School (now the ‘Old Grammar School’ and ‘Well House’), and he would walk to school each morning alongside the River Stour from his family’s home in East Bergholt. Many of Constable’s paintings feature Dedham, including Dedham Mill, which his father owned, and Dedham Parish Church, whose massive Caen stone and flint tower is a focal point of the surrounding Dedham Vale.

At Right at Home we offer person centred, engaging, flexible companionship and support. All of our CareGivers are matched to each of their clients through their interest and personalities building trust and genuine friendships.

You or you loved one may not necessarily need a lot of help. We’re here to support with daily activities to enable independence, well-being and preventing isolation and loneliness. Many of our Clients say their CareGivers are good friends and their relationships enrich and improve their day to day lives, which we are immensely happy to hear.
