About Elizabeth House
We are a residential care home in Chesterfield, providing a home for older people and for younger adults who need support with daily living, including people with physical disabilities. We try to run the house so that it belongs to the people who live in it. Residents have their own rooms and their own belongings, choose when they get up and go to bed and decide how they want to spend their time. Where somebody needs help with washing, dressing, moving about or managing medication, we aim to give it without hurry and without taking over more of the task than is needed. Keeping what a person can still do for themselves is as important as helping with what they cannot. Meals are cooked here and we listen when somebody would rather have something else. Family and friends are welcome whenever they wish to come, and we would always rather hear about a problem early. We offer respite as well as permanent places. A planned short stay can give a relative who provides care at home a proper break, or help somebody regain confidence after an illness. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we are happy to answer any questions that raises. The best way to judge a home is to walk into it, so please come and look round and ask us anything.
