About
Abbeyfield - St George's House is a purpose-built registered residential care home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea, run by the Abbeyfield Society. It has 26 beds and offers residential and respite care for older people who need more support with personal care. The building was refurbished in 2009. A Registered Manager leads the home, and senior carers and care assistants are on duty around the clock. Senior carers can give medicines on the instructions of a GP or district nurse.
The home works with a dedicated GP practice that holds weekly ward rounds, so many health concerns can be managed on site. Short-term medical needs are met by the community district nursing team, and each resident has a personalised care plan. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in 2022, with Good ratings across all five key questions.
