About Southminster Residential Home
Southminster Residential Home supports older people and people living with dementia through long-term residential care, respite, interim placements and rehabilitation after hospital stays. The home also caters for physical disabilities, sensory impairment, continence management and short-term memory loss.
Care plans are reviewed as needs change, with relatives, next of kin and physicians involved in planning. Daily life includes games, exercise and music, while chiropody, optical and hairdressing services are arranged regularly. Meals reflect nutritional, personal and religious requirements. Rehabilitation following hospital stay gives families an alternative to moving directly into permanent care.

How much does Southminster Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Southminster Residential 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.
