About Restgarth Care Home
Restgarth Care Home sits in Looe, in Cornwall, and we provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia. We also welcome respite guests who need care for a short spell, whether that is after a stay in hospital or to give a family carer a proper rest. We run the house as a household. Residents choose when to get up and when to go to bed, where to spend their days and how much they want to join in with what is going on. Meals matter a great deal here, and so does the view of the day being unhurried. Nobody is rushed through washing or dressing to suit a rota. Our experience with dementia care has taught us that familiarity is the most valuable thing we can offer. We keep routines steady, we keep the same staff working with the same residents wherever the rota allows, and we learn as much as we can about a person's earlier life so that we can talk with them about the things they remember best. When somebody is anxious or unsettled, we look for the reason rather than simply managing the behaviour. We help with washing, dressing, medication, meals, continence and mobility, and we bring in GPs, district nurses and other health colleagues quickly when they are needed. Families are welcome at any reasonable time and we would rather hear their concerns early. If you would like to look round the home in Looe, please arrange a visit.
