About The Gables Retirement Home
The Gables Retirement Home is in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. We offer older people a settled, permanent home, and we also provide respite stays for those who need care for a short period or whose family carer needs a break. We support some younger adults too. The help people need from us is mostly practical: getting up and dressed, a bath or a shower, moving about safely, medication given properly and on time, and meals worth looking forward to, with somebody nearby through the night. A good number of our residents are living with dementia, and we let that shape the whole house rather than treating it as a separate wing. The day follows a recognisable pattern, familiar staff are around, people keep their own belongings and habits, and somebody who is anxious gets company and time rather than correction. Days here run at a gentle pace. There is breakfast when people are ready for it, food cooked on the premises, newspapers, cards, music, visits from the hairdresser and time in the garden when the weather allows. Nobody is obliged to join in with anything. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring and arrange to come and look round.
