About CC The Laurels
The Laurels is a residential care home in Wickford, caring for older people and younger adults, including a good number of residents living with dementia. We aim to be an unremarkable sort of place in the best sense, where the day runs comfortably, the food is good and the staff know everybody properly. We do not hurry people. Residents get up and go to bed when it suits them, and support with washing and dressing is given at a pace that respects the person receiving it. Meals matter a great deal here, both because eating well keeps people stronger and because a shared table is often the sociable high point of the day. For residents with dementia, familiarity does most of the work. Consistent staff, a steady routine, and time spent learning a person's history mean we can usually understand what is behind a worry and put it right. Rooms are personalised with people's own belongings, which helps enormously with settling in. Relatives are welcome whenever they can come, and we would much rather families told us about a concern straight away than sat on it. We also offer respite stays, which give family carers a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and visitors considering a move are welcome to look round and ask us anything.
