About Us

Cavendish House in Clacton On Sea is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults. Our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. Respite stays are part of what we do.

With that range of people the only sensible approach is to build round individuals. Before anybody moves in we spend time with them and whoever they want involved, learning how they like their days to go, what they manage perfectly well themselves, where help would be welcome and what they would rather we left alone. That becomes the plan and it is theirs to change.

Help with washing, dressing, mobility, medication and health appointments is given as the person has asked and recorded carefully, so it happens the same way whoever is on shift. Rooms and equipment get real thought. Where there is sensory loss we attend to lighting, contrast, clear signs and working hearing aids.

With dementia we lean on knowing somebody well. Where somebody communicates differently we learn how and write it down.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall.
