About Badgers Lodge
Badgers Lodge serves adults needing nursing support in a ten-bed home arranged across four dedicated units. The setting includes provision for dementia, complex nursing needs and end-of-life support.
Care planning starts with each person’s history, preferences and goals, creating a person-centred approach within a familiar environment. The refurbished bungalow is designed around comfort and safety, while the four units provide a clear structure for different needs. Four dedicated care units distinguish the home’s smaller-scale model.

Questions families ask
How much does Badgers Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Badgers Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,134 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Badgers Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Essex council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
