Wash Lane

Ownership and company checks

Wash Lane is run by Asn Assertive Outreach And Consultancy Limited (company 12232231), incorporated in 2019, 5 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 3 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

ASN Assertive Outreach and Consultancy Limited runs 3 CQC-registered services.

All 3 are in Essex, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.

What it may cost

We estimate Wash Lane at £1,310–£1,600 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £68k–£83k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

With savings below £23,250, Essex Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

The local picture

Choice is wide here: the 25 nearest other care homes are all within 3 miles, 19 of them rated Good or Outstanding, and the closest is Kingston House, under 0.5 miles away.

It is registered for needs that fewer services nearby cover: sight or hearing loss (7 of the nearest 25); children (1 of the nearest 25).

It sits in St James ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 30% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Essex ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (4 min), a pharmacy (7 min), a shop (3 min), a café (4 min) and a bus stop (4 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.
