About Whittingham House
Whittingham House supports older people and younger adults in a residential setting, including people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Care plans are created with residents, families and friends, then reviewed and updated as needs change to support freedom of choice and independence.
The home combines daily personal support with activities, family occasions and excursions. Care workers address personal and social needs while respecting dignity, and the management team remains available to discuss residents’ welfare. Whittingham House suits families seeking care plans reviewed as needs change alongside social engagement and continued family involvement.

How much does Whittingham House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Whittingham House 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.
