About Essex
We provide care and support to people in their own homes in Tilbury and across Thurrock. Our work is with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people who have learning disabilities and autism, with people managing mental health conditions or eating disorders, and with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment. Because the people we support differ so much from one another, we do not have a house style of care. What we have is a way of starting, which is to ask plenty of questions and listen properly to the answers. What does a good day look like now. What has become difficult. What help would be welcome and what would feel like somebody taking over. Who else should be involved, and who should not. From there our carers help with personal care, medication, meals, household tasks and getting out into the community. We keep the group of carers visiting each household small and review arrangements as circumstances change. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from individuals, families and professionals.
