About Us
Welcome to Melrose House – a warm, privately owned care home set in the heart of Southend-on-Sea, where compassion and comfort come first. At Melrose House, we understand that finding the right care home is a significant decision, whether for yourself or a loved one. Our friendly and experienced team are dedicated to providing bespoke care tailored to individual needs, supporting residents living with conditions including diabetes, frailty, hearing and sight impairment, incontinence, Parkinsonism, speech impairment, end of life care, and young-onset dementia.
We offer a wide range of care options funded privately or through local authority and NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), including those with top-up arrangements. Our purpose-built home features thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxation and socialising, including beautifully maintained gardens, inviting lounges, and a welcoming dining area with a resident choice menu and protected mealtimes. We take pride in offering a vibrant activities programme, from bingo and film nights in our cinema, to outings and daily newspapers, ensuring there is always something to enjoy.
Residents are encouraged to make their rooms their own, with options for private terraces or gardens, en-suite or assisted bathrooms, and space for personal belongings and even pets. Our rooms are equipped with call bells, WiFi, TV points, and more to promote independence and comfort.
With convenient on-site free parking, wheelchair access throughout, and an escort service for appointments, everything is in place to deliver peace of mind. Nearby amenities such as banks, shops, GP surgeries, and parks provide additional reassurance for families and residents alike.
At Melrose House, it’s our privilege to create a homely and supportive environment where each individual’s wellbeing is at the heart of what we do. We invite you to visit and see what makes Melrose House special.
