About Midtown Farm

Midtown Farm is a residential care home near Maryport in Cumberland, providing a home for younger adults who need care and support with everyday life. It is a home rather than a placement, and the household is arranged around the people living in it. Support is planned individually. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it also takes in the parts of life that are too easily treated as extras: friendships, going out, keeping up an interest, being useful, having something to look forward to in the week. We give people the time to do things their own way rather than stepping in for the sake of speed, and where somebody wants greater independence we plan support that draws back as their confidence grows. We treat that as the point of the work rather than a loss of service. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody find out how the place feels before anything permanent is decided. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and see for yourself how the household works.
