About The Gables Care Home
The Gables is a residential care home in Buxton. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a learning disability or autism, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. The house sits within reach of the town and we make good use of that. People go out for coffee, to the shops, to church, or simply for a walk in the Derbyshire air when the weather allows. Indoors, the day is built around what people actually want rather than a timetable, and we ask families to tell us about a person's history so that we can keep hold of the things that matter to them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather say that plainly than have anyone find out later. We have worked through the areas identified, in particular how we record and review care and how we support staff to do things consistently, and we are happy to talk through the detail with anyone who asks. We are a small enough home that people know one another, and that makes it easier to notice when someone is unhappy or unwell. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour. If you are looking at care in Buxton and would like an honest conversation about where we are, please call and come and see us.
