About Longview
Longview is a residential care home on Canvey Island. We support older people and younger adults who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also take respite bookings. We try to keep the home feeling domestic. People wake in their own time, keep their own belongings around them, decide how the day goes and are not hurried. Meals matter here and visitors are welcome throughout the day without booking a slot first. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We are not going to write around that. We know what was flagged, we have work under way, and we would rather discuss it openly with families than have them come across it later. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to ask us directly what has changed and what has not. Beyond that, what we can promise is plain dealing. If something goes wrong we will tell you, and we will tell you what we are doing about it. If a relative's needs are changing we will raise it early, while there is still time to talk it through properly rather than decide in a hurry. If you are looking at residential or respite care in this part of Essex, please arrange to come and see us.
