About Delamer House
We are Delamer House, a residential care home in Walton on the Naze caring for older people. We have tried to keep the feel of a house rather than an institution. People bring their own furniture and pictures, come down when they wake rather than when a schedule says so, and spend their days as they please. Some like company from morning to night, others prefer their own room and their own quiet, and there is no right answer to that. What we provide is residential care rather than nursing care, and we say so plainly to families from the first conversation. Within it we help with washing, dressing and getting about safely, support people with their medication, provide proper meals, and make sure nobody is left alone all day unless that is their preference. The staff here stay long enough to know residents well, which is how you notice that somebody is quieter or eating less than usual before it turns into something more serious. We keep families informed and would far rather ring early about a small concern than explain a large one later. Visitors are welcome whenever they want to come. We offer respite stays alongside permanent places, which helps family carers who need a break and people recovering their strength after hospital. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to arrange a visit.
