Welcome to Community Hospitals
We provide care and rehabilitation beds in two community hospitals, Clacton Hospital and Fryatt Hospital in Harwich. Community beds are for those people who do not require the acute care provided in a General Hospital and whose care can be managed by the team of advanced nurse practitioners, nursing and therapy staff, with medical input from a GP.
We are committed to protecting patients’ privacy and dignity and we ensure patients are not placed in mixed sex accommodation.
Our aim is to enable people to return home, with appropriate support if required.
