About Us

Here at Essex Care Consortium Marks Tey, we are a care home based in Colchester, Essex, providing support to a wide range of people who need a safe, comfortable and genuinely caring place to call home.

We support older adults, younger adults, people living with a learning disability or autism, and those experiencing mental health difficulties. We also offer respite care for people who need a short term break, or whose families need some time to rest. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who comes through our doors is treated as an individual, with their own preferences, routines and goals respected at every step.

Our team takes time to get to know the people we support properly. We do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Whether someone is with us for a few weeks or makes this their permanent home, we want them to feel settled, heard and comfortable. Families are always welcome to be involved, and we actively encourage open communication so that everyone feels informed and at ease.

We were pleased to receive a rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission at our most recent inspection. That matters to us, not because of the label itself, but because it reflects the consistent, thoughtful work our team puts in every day.

Marks Tey is a welcoming part of the world, and we are proud to be part of the local community here in Colchester. If you are exploring care options for yourself or someone you love, we would be happy to have a conversation, show you around and answer any questions you might have. Please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are here to help you find the right fit.
