About Gairloch Residential Care Home
Gairloch Residential Care Home provides residential, dementia, respite and day care for older people in Clacton-on-Sea. Its wider care group supports residents across Essex, with services designed around comfort, dignity, independence and meaningful daily life.
Respite care offers short-term, full-time support after illness, during a transitional period or when a family carer needs a break. Day care gives older adults a supportive place to spend the day with social interaction, activities and help with daily tasks, without moving into full-time residential care. Residential and dementia care are tailored to individual needs, with plans reviewed as support requirements change.

Questions families ask
How much does Gairloch Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Gairloch Residential Care Home 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Gairloch Residential Care Home 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). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
