About Victoria Court
Victoria Court is a care home in Ilkeston in Derbyshire. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for those needing care for a short spell. We want this to feel like a house that people live in rather than somewhere they have been sent. That means visitors at the times that suit them, something usually going on in the lounge that nobody is obliged to join, and staff who sit down and talk properly instead of passing through on the way to a task. People here decide when they get up, what they wear, what they eat and whether they want company or their own space with the door shut. Dementia care depends on patience and a recognisable day more than on anything we could add. We avoid springing things on people, we keep routines familiar, and when somebody is distressed we go looking for the cause rather than trying to smooth it over. Relatives very often know precisely what helps, and we would rather be told at the beginning than work it out across six months. The practical side gets proper attention too: food people actually want to eat, medication handled carefully, quick response when somebody is unwell, and plain conversations with families when things change. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. We keep asking residents and relatives where we are getting it wrong.
