Questions families ask
What assessment is needed before moving into the home?
Before moving in, a team member visits to carry out a full assessment of the person’s needs, preferences and routines.
Can residents bring valuable belongings to the care home?
They generally recommend leaving valuable or irreplaceable items at home because they are not insured for loss or replacement of high-value items.
Can family and friends visit at any time?
Yes. Visitors are always welcome, although visiting times should be discussed with the home in advance where possible.
How much does Tallis House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Tallis House 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.
