About Cumbria Emmaus Trust
Here at Cumbria Emmaus Trust, we are a care home based in Whitehaven, Cumberland, providing residential care for older people, including those living with dementia. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to support recovery after a period of illness. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home, not just comfortable in a functional sense, but valued, listened to and part of a community. Dementia care sits at the heart of much of what we do. We understand how important it is to approach each person as an individual, taking time to learn their life history, their preferences and the things that bring them comfort and joy. That understanding shapes the way we support people every single day. We are open about the fact that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating. We have taken that seriously, and work is ongoing to address the areas identified. We believe in being honest with the people we care for and their families, and we would rather have a straightforward conversation about where we are and what we are doing about it than paper over the cracks. If you are considering Cumbria Emmaus Trust for yourself or a loved one, we warmly encourage you to come and visit us. Seeing a place for yourself, meeting the team and asking questions is always the best way to get a true sense of whether it feels right.
