Kathryn Court is a comfortable and friendly care home in the heart of Shoeburyness, Essex.
This 52-bed Runwood Homes facility provides expert care for older people, including those living with dementia, and has been voted by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in East England. As well as being part of the 'dementia action alliance', they strive to create a homely environment by providing all the comforts of good food, good company and friendly staff.
Residents frequently take trips out and whilst at home the house is transformed into a hive of activity to ensure that residents remain stimulated and engaged, with their individual hobbies and needs taken into account, including movie matinee with popcorn and snacks, bingo, quizzes, board games and many more.
The atmosphere wraps itself around visitors when entering the foyer and the warm and friendly experience just grows from there. Comfortable lounges, staff interested in all the residents have to do and say and home-cooked meals. All bedrooms are beautifully furnished with en-suite bathrooms and excellent amenities.
There is a dedicated area for dementia care, designed to enable those cared for to maintain their dignity and independence in a safe environment.

Hi, I’m Donna, the Home Manager at Kathryn Court. I’ve been a proud member of the team since March 26, 2007, and I’ve cherished every moment of my 19 years here. My role allows me to encourage residents to continue being their authentic selves and to listen to their incredible life stories, which is a truly rewarding experience.
Building strong relationships with residents and their families is at the heart of what I do, and I’m passionate about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and connected.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring my creative side through crafts and photography. I also love delving into family history, uncovering stories from the past that connect generations.

Hi, I’m Donna, and I’ve been proudly working as a Care Assistant at Kathryn Court for 15 years. My role here is deeply rewarding, and I truly enjoy socialising with our wonderful residents, their families, and my amazing colleagues.
Outside of work, I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve completed a Race for Life and am known for my outgoing nature—I can even down a pint in one go! In my free time, I love travelling and unwinding on holidays, visiting the theatre, exploring museums, and indulging in delicious meals. Life is all about enjoying the little moments, and I make the most of them.
