About Us

Here at Five Stacks Residential Care Centre in Clacton on Sea, Essex, we provide nursing home care for a wide range of people, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team supports older adults, people living with dementia, individuals with learning disabilities or autism, those experiencing mental health challenges, and people with physical disabilities. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a short term stay.

We know that choosing a care home for yourself or someone you love is not a straightforward decision. It takes trust, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure every person who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home, with their individual needs, preferences and routines respected from day one.

Our nursing team works closely with residents, families and visiting professionals to ensure that care plans reflect the whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of needs on a form. Whether someone is with us for a short respite stay or has made Five Stacks their permanent home, we want their experience here to feel as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good. We see that as a reflection of the effort our staff put in every day, and also as something to build on rather than simply rest upon.

Clacton on Sea is a town we are proud to be part of, and many of our residents have strong connections to this community. We think that matters. Familiar surroundings and local ties can make a real difference to a person's wellbeing, and we do our best to support those connections wherever we can.

If you would like to find out more about what we offer, please do get in touch.
