About Bowesbury Care Home

Bowesbury Care Home is a residential care home in Derby, providing a permanent home and short stays for adults who need support with daily living. We care for older people and for younger adults, and those living here have a range of needs. Some need help with personal care, mobility or medication. Many are living with dementia, and for them we keep the surroundings calm and familiar, give people time to respond, and take the trouble to learn about their lives so that staff can be genuine company. We also support people living with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, adjusting how we communicate and how the building is used so that nobody is left out of what is going on. Respite stays are part of what we do, whether a family carer needs a planned break or somebody needs looking after for a few weeks after being unwell before returning home. Choosing a care home is a difficult decision and it is usually made under pressure. We would rather you took your time over it. Come and see Bowesbury, walk round properly, talk to the staff you meet and to the people who live here, and judge the place on what you find rather than on what we say about it. Please ring us to arrange a visit at a time that suits you. You are welcome to come more than once.
