Questions families ask
How much does Essex Care Consortium - Colchester cost?

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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Essex Care Consortium - Colchester whether it takes residents funded by Essex council and what it charges people who pay for themselves.
