About Us

Wellwick House is a residential care home in Clacton on Sea, Essex. We support older people who need help with daily life and adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays. We will start with our last inspection rather than leave you to find it. The Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We accepted the findings and worked through them with the team. The effort has gone into the things residents actually feel, which are safe and accurate medication practice, consistent staffing so people are supported by workers who know them, and making sure a concern raised by a resident, a relative or an advocate reaches a manager and gets a proper answer. What we are working towards has not changed. Everyone here has a plan agreed with them, covering how they like to be supported and what they want their days to hold. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want, and rooms are furnished with their own belongings. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they do communicate and make sure the team knows. When someone becomes distressed we look for the cause rather than the quickest way to stop it. Please come and visit, ask us about the inspection directly and judge the home as it is now.
