About us
Our Objectives
To provide a warm, stable and comfortable environment.
To provide care that is professional but also based on the individual.
To provide a high quality of life.
To promote the core values of care and a persons basic rights. That is the values of individuality and identity, dignity, independence, privacy, choice, rights, respect and partnership. Also the right to self worth, to take risks and to live as an independent entity.
A Peaceful Location
Manor Rest Home is located in a quiet, tree-lined road in Westcliff-on-Sea, offering a calm and welcoming environment while remaining close to essential amenities. Just two minutes from the seafront and one minute from Westcliff Station, our home provides residents with both tranquillity and excellent transport links.
With bus stops, local shops, a post office, and traditional pubs all within walking distance, residents have everything they need close by. The vibrant shopping areas of Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea are easily accessible by bus or train, and for families travelling from further afield, London is just 45 minutes away via direct rail from Westcliff Station.
For residents who enjoy gentle walks and fresh air, a bench at the end of the road offers a peaceful spot to relax and watch the world go by. Those looking for a longer stroll can explore the scenic esplanade, Southend’s famous pier, or walk towards Old Leigh Town, known for its historic fishing boats and cockle sheds.
At Manor Rest Home, we believe staying connected to the local community and natural surroundings is essential for wellbeing. Our ideally located care home in Southend-on-Sea ensures residents enjoy both comfort and independence in a friendly, supportive setting.
