About Cheviot Nursing Home
Cheviot Nursing Home provides 24-hour nursing care for residents with complex medical needs, including older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities. Its 33-bed home in Lexden supports residents who need qualified nurses on hand throughout the day and night, with care tailored to each person. The home forms part of Balkerne Gardens Trust, which offers different accommodation and care settings across its wider community.
The Trust’s services include residential, nursing, respite and end-of-life care. Cheviot is intended for people seeking a settled home with clinical support, while the wider organisation can adapt support as needs change. Visitor parking is very limited, with pick-up and drop-off points available and nearby public car parks.

Questions families ask
Do they accept residents with a dementia diagnosis?
No. Cheviot Nursing Home cannot accept applicants with a confirmed dementia diagnosis, but it will continue supporting residents who develop dementia while in its care if their needs can still be met.
How long can a respite stay last?
Respite stays last a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of six weeks. They can suit post-operative care, family holidays or when a carer needs a short break.
How much does Cheviot Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Cheviot Nursing Home 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.
