About Dale Brook Care Home
Dale Brook Care Home is a residential care home in Chesterfield. We provide a home for older people who need support with daily living, for younger adults who need a supportive household, for people with physical disabilities and for people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available as well. What we aim for is an ordinary life with help attached rather than a routine everybody has to fit into. Residents decide when to get up, where to sit, whether they want company or quiet, and what they would like to eat. We help with personal care, dressing, medication and mobility, doing only as much as somebody actually needs, because taking over is easy and rarely helpful. Dementia care is a large part of our work. The practical side of it is unglamorous: keeping the daily rhythm and surroundings consistent, giving somebody time to find their words instead of finishing their sentence, and knowing enough about earlier life to understand what a worry is really about. Families hold most of that knowledge and we ask for it early. For residents with physical disabilities our attention goes to equipment that fits and transfers handled safely and without embarrassment. For those living with sight or hearing loss, unhurried communication makes most of the difference. We have not yet had an overall rating published by the Care Quality Commission, which we say plainly rather than leaving you to look it up. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon and ask us anything you like.
