About Kimberley Grace Care Home
Kimberley Grace Care Home is in Westcliff on Sea, Essex. We provide residential care for older people and for younger adults who need support with everyday life, and caring for people living with dementia is a large part of what we do. We are not a nursing home, and it is worth being clear about that. What we offer is residential care: help with washing and dressing, medication given on time, meals cooked here, laundry done, and staff on duty through the night as well as the day. Doctors and district nurses come in when clinical care is needed. For most people that turns out to be the right level of support, because it removes the effort and the worry without removing the independence. Dementia care rests on consistency and on knowing the person. A familiar order to the day, the same faces turning up and surroundings that are easy to read will settle somebody more surely than any programme of activities. We take time to learn about a person's working life, family and habits, because that is what explains them to us when words begin to fail. The sea front is close by and we help people get out to it. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see us.
