About Spring Lodge
Spring Lodge provides residential care and support for older people, including short-term respite stays and longer-term placements. The home is registered for older-person care without nursing, with meals, activities and assistance built into daily life.
Residents can choose freshly cooked meals around dietary needs, eat in the dining room or have meals in their own rooms. Families and friends are welcome to join residents for meals, and there are no set visiting hours. Activities are planned around individual interests and may include group sessions, one-to-one pursuits and entertainment. Pet admissions can be considered following an individual risk assessment.

Questions families ask
Can residents bring their pets?
Yes, subject to an individual risk assessment. Admission can be refused if a pet presents risks to staff or residents or would not benefit from moving in.
Are there set visiting hours for residents?
No. Visiting is not restricted because the homes are staffed 24 hours a day, and family and friends can join residents for dinner at no extra charge.
How can residents get help during the night?
Call bells are installed in every bedroom and at key points in the home. Staff keep them within reach and can also arrange regular overnight checks.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents can bring items such as a bed, wardrobe or pictures to make their room feel more homely, alongside the fixtures and fittings already provided.
How much does Spring Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Spring Lodge 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.
