About The Grange
The Grange offers residential, dementia and respite care in en-suite accommodation designed for older people and those living with dementia. The setting includes a cinema, pub and terrace, alongside activities intended to support everyday enjoyment and community involvement.
Care plans are reviewed as needs change, with families involved in planning and support. The home also provides dementia-friendly surroundings, quiet seating areas and activities such as reminiscing, gardening and baking. Its respite care service can provide a temporary stay while a usual carer takes a break, with the wider service also offering nursing care through its care-home network.

Does The Grange offer respite care and en-suite rooms?

Can families view and contribute to a resident's care plan?
Yes. A nominated carer or Senior Care Assistant can show the care plan, which is reviewed and updated regularly as care needs change, with families involved in care decisions.
How much does The Grange cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Grange 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.
