About Valentine House
Residential and respite care at Valentine House supports older people, including people living with dementia, within an independent care group. The home also records support for younger adults and offers a setting where family and friends can remain involved.
Freshly cooked meals can accommodate special dietary needs, with residents choosing to eat in the dining room or their own rooms. Visiting hours are not restricted, and relatives may join residents for meals. Pets can be considered after an individual risk assessment. Weekly fees include food, drink and laundry, while external trips, chiropody and hairdressing are charged separately.

Questions families ask
Can residents bring their pets?
Yes. Pets are welcome subject to an individual risk assessment. The home can refuse admission if an animal presents a risk to residents or staff, or if coming to the home would not be in the animal’s interests.
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. Rooms already include fixtures and fittings, including a 32” LED TV.
How can residents get help during the night?
They can press a call bell in the bedroom or another strategic location. Staff keep the bells within reach and can arrange regular checks during the night.
Can residents access the outdoors?
Yes. Residents can use the outdoor facilities independently according to their mobility or with help from a carer. They can also join outdoor activities such as gardening.
How much does Valentine House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Valentine 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.
