About Us

The Cedars is a residential care home in Clacton on Sea, Essex, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people managing mental health conditions.

A house that takes adults of different ages has to resist the pull towards a single pace. What suits a resident in their eighties who likes an early night is not what suits somebody in their forties who wants to be out during the day. Both are reasonable, and our job is to make room for both rather than let one become the house default.

For residents living with dementia, the useful knowledge nearly always comes from families. What somebody did for a living, who they are thinking of when the late afternoon becomes difficult, what music settles them. We ask for that, record it and pass it between shifts. Supporting people with mental health needs asks above all for consistency and for staff who do not take a difficult day personally.

Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and visitors are welcome.

Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?

Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.
