Southend Care - Luxury Assisted Living Care Home in Essex

Palliative care
We provide individual support to residents with advanced and progressive illness and, of course, offer help and support to their families. Palliative care aims to make the best quality of life available for individuals suffering terminal diseases and illnesses, as a form of support alongside medical care and treatment.

The aim is to make each day a special day and we approach the needs of both the residents and their families in all respects, including the physical, social, psychological and spiritual.

Individualised care
Each and every resident has differing needs and it is inevitable that some are more complex than others. Accordingly, we invite potential residents to visit us, not only to see the extensive facilities we offer but for us to best assess the residents’ needs.

We are committed to providing a high standard of quality nursing care for elderly people. We foster an atmosphere of care and choice which enables and encourages our residents to live a full, interesting and independent lifestyle, in a luxurious and safe environment.
Our model of care includes provision of gourmet catering through our qualified and experienced chefs. Meals are freshly prepared daily from healthy ingredients and tea, coffee and other hot and cold drinks and snacks are available around the clock for residents and guests.
