Questions families ask
Can they offer a trial stay before permanent care?
Yes. Aveley Lodge can arrange an appropriate stay, usually for four weeks, subject to room availability. It is charged at the current care rate.
Are nurses on duty at Aveley Lodge?
No. Aveley Lodge is a residential care home without employed nurses, but it can access GP nurse practitioners, district nursing services and the Single Point Community Care Team when required.
Do they require a deposit before moving into care?
Yes. They ask for a deposit to secure the room, which is deducted from the first month’s care fees. They do not charge an administration fee.
How much does Aveley Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Aveley Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,085 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
