About Priory Lodge
Residential care at Priory Lodge centres on people with mental health issues, including younger adults. Daily support can cover meal preparation, hygiene and supervision, with individualised care plans shaped around each resident’s circumstances. The home also supports independence, informed choice and meaningful activity.
Care includes one-to-one attention, companionship and help with everyday tasks. Staff support medication needs and can assist with mobility, eating or grooming where physical disabilities or age-related conditions affect self-care. Individualised care plans help organise support while balancing personal decision-making with safety and risk management.

How much does Priory Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Priory Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £2,407 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
