Derham House Care Home in Upminster

Situated in beautifully maintained grounds in the outskirts of Upminster, Derham House has many natural advantages: plenty of local amenities yet within easy reach of London, Lakeside Shopping Centre and the beaches at Southend on Sea. At Derham House, we provide a range of accommodation and services for older people in need of support, from respite care to 24-hour nursing care and residential care.

Dementia Care

We also provide specialist support for individuals living with dementia in our bespoke Memory Lane Community, where care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person centred approach. We have also invested in a 'Magic Table' for our home, an interactive light projector designed to support people living with dementia through mentally and physically stimulating games.

We think you'll find we're ideally suited to meet your needs. Why not arrange a visit and see for yourself!

Our 'Paying to live in a care home' guide is designed to try and help you understand more about the funding options available and what to consider when choosing a care home.

Types of care

The care we provide is delivered in a way that promotes independence for those who live in our home. Where possible, it is important that residents are encouraged to perform daily tasks independently or with minor support. Our services are devised with individualised treatment in mind for each person, so getting to know everyone and understanding their needs is imperative to delivering bespoke, person-centred care.

Hugo Gomes Ruela

General Manager

Hi, my name is Hugo, and I am the General Manager here at Derham House. Welcome to our website!

I qualified as a nurse in Portugal and developed a diverse clinical background, namely in intensive care.

Upon moving to the UK in 2015, I developed a true passion for palliative care and obtaining great outcomes in difficult situations. My management career started in 2017, having experience in both residential and nursing settings.

I am delighted to work with the residents, their families and staff here at Derham House.

My door is always open to discuss the care we provide so please drop in for a cup of tea.
