About Stilecroft Residential Home

Stilecroft is a residential home in Workington. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, and people managing mental health conditions. We support younger adults too, and we offer respite stays. We put our attention on ordinary comfort and on the hours nobody inspects. Whether the food is worth finishing. How long a bell takes to answer at two in the morning. Whether the person helping you knows anything about you beyond your care plan. For residents living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the surroundings unchanged, and we ask families early for the history, because it becomes much harder to gather later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to leave that out and hope it goes unnoticed. We accept the findings, we are working through them, and we will not claim in a paragraph that everything is resolved. If you are thinking about this home for somebody, please come unannounced, speak to residents and relatives away from staff, and press us on specifics: what was wrong, what has changed, and what is still outstanding. That will tell you considerably more than anything written here.
