About SummerHill
SummerHill combines residential care with supported living and day services for people with dementia, learning disabilities and mental health needs. Its approach centres on purposeful activities that help people lead fuller daily lives.
Activities are social, vocational, educational and leisure-based, with regular community facilities used where possible rather than relying solely on a traditional day-centre setting. The wider organisation also offers self-directed support, individual budgets and direct payments. SummerHill is particularly relevant to people seeking purposeful social, vocational and leisure activities alongside care and support.

Questions families ask
How much does SummerHill cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask SummerHill for its weekly fee. As a guide, Southend-on-Sea council paid on average £929 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 SummerHill whether it takes residents funded by Southend-on-Sea 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.
