About Carolyne House
Carolyne House is a nursing home in Chadwell St Mary, Thurrock. We care for older people who need nursing support, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and some younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Registered nurses are on site throughout the day and night, which means clinical needs are met here rather than through repeated trips to hospital. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the gradual changes that come with frailty are handled by people who know the person, in surroundings they know. Good nursing care is mostly small things done reliably. Pressure care attended to on time. Mouth care not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened at three in the morning. Those are the things we would rather be measured on. The other half of the job is a life worth getting up for. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own. Where sight or hearing is reduced, we adapt how we communicate and keep the surroundings predictable. With dementia we rely on familiar faces, a steady rhythm and treating distress as something with a cause rather than as behaviour. Respite stays suit people who need nursing input for a short period and family carers needing a proper break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit Carolyne House and ask us whatever you need to.
