About Kirksanton Care Centre
Kirksanton Care Centre is a residential care home in Millom, Cumberland. We support older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia, residents managing mental health conditions and people recovering from problems with alcohol or drugs. We also offer respite stays. Because the people who live here have arrived by very different routes, we do not run one routine and expect everyone to fit into it. Support is agreed with each person, put in writing, and changed when it stops being right. Residents keep their own belongings and their own decisions, and staff work around individual habits rather than around a timetable. Where someone is living with dementia, we keep familiar faces and a steady pace, and we learn about their earlier life so that we can offer reassurance that actually means something. Where someone is working to move on from alcohol or drugs, what we offer is a settled place, staff who do not make assumptions, and consistent support alongside the other professionals involved. People do better when they are treated as adults with a future rather than as a history. Families and friends are welcome, and we would always rather hear about a problem while it is small. Our staff are encouraged to raise concerns as well. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in this part of Cumberland, please contact us and come to see the place for yourself.
