Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help. Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing.
As we proudly develop our Baycroft collection of elegant care homes, we continue to focus on our South-East heartland. Located in Chelmsford, Essex, Baycroft Great Baddow is an elegant 64-bed care home, providing residential, nursing and dementia care.

There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority.
Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site. Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. Housing-with-care is a recent but natural evolution of retirement housing to provide an environment capable of enabling older people to maintain their independence even if they become physically or mentally frail.
Getting older can make it more difficult to get around and do the things you used to do, or would like to do. If affording work to your home is an issue, Age UK’s factsheet Home improvements and repairs is a good read, as is OneFamily’s webpage How to fund home improvements. A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense.
For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them. We reviewed the information and data available to us about Baycroft Great Baddow on 8 December 2022. We have not found evidence that we need to reassess the rating at this stage.
Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. We have therefore encouraged every provider to open their ‘online windows and doors’ to help you make an informed choice. The profile score is a measure of how much information has been provided. We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist.
