About Ravensworth Care Home
Ravensworth Care Home is a residential care home in Chesterfield. We support older people who need daily care, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and younger adults, and we try to make the house feel like somewhere people belong rather than somewhere they have been placed. Dementia care is a large part of what we do. The things that help most are unglamorous and consistent, familiar faces, meals when people expect them, routines that hold together, and staff who have the time to let a conversation go at its own pace. We build our days around that rather than around a schedule that suits the building. Because the people living here have quite different needs and ages, we do not run one timetable for everybody. Some people want company and activity through the day, others want their own space and a quiet life, and both are perfectly reasonable. We also offer respite stays for families who need a break or for someone recovering after a period in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We took the findings seriously and we keep an eye on our own standards between inspections rather than waiting to be told. If you are looking into a home for yourself or a relative, please come and visit. Seeing the place and meeting the people in it is worth far more than anything we can write here.
