About Us

Kingsgate Care Home is a nursing home in Clacton on Sea, Essex. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose needs call for qualified nursing support, with registered nurses on duty.

Our clinical work covers long term conditions, wound and pressure area care, nutrition and hydration, continence and medication, alongside close working with GPs, community nurses and hospital teams. We also support residents living with dementia, keeping the day familiar and unhurried, and residents with physical disabilities and with sight or hearing loss, where the right equipment, enough time and a considered way of communicating make all the difference.

The thing we work hardest at is making sure the nursing does not take over the person. Somebody living here still chooses when to get up, what to eat, where to sit and who to see. Care is discussed with them rather than around them. Families are welcome at whatever time suits, and we ask them to stay closely involved, because they hold a picture of their relative that we could not build on our own.

Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period and for families who provide care at home and need a planned break.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

Please come and visit us, meet the nursing and care teams, and see the home on an ordinary day.
