About Asher House
Here at Asher House, we provide nursing care for the people who come to live with us or stay for a short while in Walton On The Naze, a quiet and welcoming corner of Essex. We support a range of needs, including nursing care, learning disability and autism, care for younger adults, and respite stays for those who need a temporary period of support or a break for their loved ones. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that trust lightly. Whether someone is moving in permanently or joining us for a short respite break, we want every person to feel genuinely at home here. That means listening carefully, getting to know individual routines and preferences, and making sure people feel respected and involved in their own care. Our team works closely with residents, families, and healthcare professionals to ensure that care plans reflect what actually matters to each person rather than following a one size fits all approach. For those living with a learning disability or autism, we place real importance on consistency, clear communication, and building familiar, trusting relationships with the staff they see day to day. Being based in Walton On The Naze means we are part of a genuine community, and we value the connections that brings. Families are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay involved in the lives of those they care about. We are currently unrated by the Care Quality Commission, and we welcome that scrutiny as part of being accountable to the people we support. We are committed to being open and honest with residents and their families about how we are doing and where we are working to improve.
