About Cheriton Care Home
Cheriton Care Home is a residential care home in Amersham. We support older people, including people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. People here keep their own belongings around them, follow their own routines as far as they are able, and decide for themselves whether to join in with what is happening in the house. Some want company all day and others want their own room and quiet, and we plan for both rather than assuming. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather state that openly. We have worked through what the inspection identified, particularly how we plan, record and review care and how we support our staff to work consistently, and we are willing to talk through the detail with anyone considering a place here. Dementia care rests on knowing a person rather than a diagnosis, so we ask relatives to tell us about a working life, a marriage, a home and the habits of many years, and we use that to make sense of somebody when the words become difficult. If you are looking at residential care in Amersham and would like an honest conversation, please call and come and see us.
