About Primecare
Residential and dementia care are available at Primecare, a Basildon care home for older people and adults with a range of needs. The home also provides respite and day care, with support available around the clock in a calm, homely setting.
Primecare helps families understand care arrangements and funding, while residents have communal areas, gardens and planned activities as part of daily life. Dementia support is person-centred, with care plans shaped around individual requirements and reviewed as needs change. Short stays can help with transition into longer-term care, and respite stays are usually booked for up to 8 weeks, although longer arrangements may be considered.

Questions families ask
How long can respite care at Primecare last?
It is usually booked for up to eight weeks. Stays lasting several months may also be assessed individually and matched to an appropriate care plan.
Does Primecare require a holding deposit?
A holding deposit may be requested when reserving a room for a future move-in date. It is refundable after the scheduled move-in day, but 50% may be retained if the person does not move in.
Can someone try Primecare before choosing longer-term care?
Yes. Day care can provide a taste of life at the home, including meeting the team, joining the community and taking part in activities, subject to availability.
Can residents bring their own furniture to Primecare?
Yes. Residents may bring furniture, photographs, ornaments, books and other belongings if there is enough space. The maintenance team can help with personal touches.
How much does Primecare cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Primecare 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.
