About Ardtully Retirement Residence
Ardtully Retirement Residence is a residential care home in Ingatestone. We provide care for older people, including those living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. We would rather be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted the findings, we have been working through them, and anybody considering the home should ask us directly what has changed and what is still to be put right. We would think less of a family that did not ask. What we are aiming for day to day is a settled household where people are known. Residents keep their own routines, furnish their rooms as they wish and decide how much they want to join in. Where somebody needs help with moving about, personal care or eating, our staff are trained to give it without hurrying or making a performance of it. Dementia support rests on familiarity and pace. Where sight or hearing is failing we pay attention to lighting, contrast, signage and sound, and we check that glasses and hearing aids are being used and looked after. Supporting mental health needs means consistency and working alongside community teams. Families are welcome through the day and are kept properly informed. Please come and look round and judge the place for yourself.
