About Heatherton House Care Home
We are a residential care home in Derby, providing a home for older people and younger adults who need support with the ordinary business of daily life. We try to keep the atmosphere of a house rather than an institution, with people bringing their own furniture and pictures and carrying on with what they enjoy. We help with personal care, mobility, meals and medication, and we care for people living with dementia. What makes the real difference with dementia, in our experience, is familiar staff, routines that stay put and enough time that nothing needs rushing. We also support people with a physical disability, thinking carefully about how rooms are set up and how we work so that independence is not quietly eroded by small obstacles. Respite stays are available as well. A planned break can be what allows a family carer to keep going, and a short stay is also a gentle way of finding out whether a care home is the right step before anyone commits to it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would much rather a resident or relative raised a concern while it was still small, so we ask often and we act on what we hear. Please do come and visit. Looking round and meeting people tells you far more than anything written down.
