Due to the recent increase in COVID cases, and the alert level being raised to 4, we have had to make the decision to put the home on full lockdown. This means that visits will not be able to go ahead, unless they are from health care professionals. We understand that these are tough times and we thank everyone for their understanding and patience. We can still arrange phone calls and facetime.
Please call 01255 424077 if you have any questions, or would like an update regarding a Service User.
Penny Pot Care Home was opened in 1950 by a committee of various clubs within the county of Essex, and its founder was Lady Courtauld who opened the home to give elderly people the companionship, security and worry-free life they desired.
The home was bought by the current owner, Ms. Debbie Carson, in 2007, and has gone from strength to strength, with an amazing and diverse workforce making the home a success.
Penny Pot Care Home is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Essex County Council. Our latest CQC report can be viewed by clicking on this link.
