Yes. Wickham Care Home provides 24-hour care and support for older adults in a small residential home.
What types of care does Wickham Care Home offer?
It offers residential, dementia, respite, palliative and end-of-life care for people over 65.
How many adults can stay in the Ashfield Suite?
The newly refurbished Ashfield Suite can accommodate up to nine adults in a cosy, well-appointed environment.
How much does Wickham Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wickham Care Home 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.
