About Parkside

We are Parkside, a residential care home in Maryport. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people with a visual or hearing impairment. With that range of people under one roof, a single routine would suit nobody, so we do not run one. People get up when they are ready, eat what appeals to them and spend their days as they choose. What stays the same is that staff are always about and that they know the people here well enough to notice when somebody is quieter, more tired or less themselves than usual. For residents living with dementia, we work with their history rather than against their confusion. Knowing the work somebody did, the family they raised and the music that still reaches them is worth more than any activity timetable. Where a person has a visual or hearing impairment, we make sure every member of staff knows how they prefer to be approached. We keep families properly in the picture and would always rather make an early call about a small concern. Visitors are welcome whenever they want to come. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to arrange a look round.
