About Magdalen Close Hostel
Magdalen Close Hostel is registered as a residential care home without nursing, with care covering dementia, learning disabilities, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. This makes its documented scope relevant to people whose support needs extend beyond ordinary daily assistance.
The available official material linked to the home does not establish a detailed local service offer, staffing model or specific facilities. Its registered care scope remains the clearest useful description for families and professionals considering residential support in Clacton-on-Sea. The home should therefore be understood as a residential setting for people needing ongoing care, rather than as a nursing home. Residential care without nursing defines the registered provision.

Questions families ask
How much does Magdalen Close Hostel cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Magdalen Close Hostel 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 Magdalen Close Hostel 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.
