About Edwardstow Court Care Centre
Edwardstow Court is a residential care home in Cheltenham. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We support younger adults too, and respite stays are part of what we do. Our attention goes on ordinary comfort and on the parts of the day nobody inspects. Whether the food is worth finishing. How long a bell takes to answer at two in the morning. Whether the person helping you knows anything about you beyond your care plan. Whether anybody notices you have gone quiet for a couple of days. Where a resident communicates differently, whether through sight, hearing or anything else, we settle that properly at the start and everybody uses the same approach consistently. For residents with physical disabilities we plan around what a person can still manage themselves rather than what is fastest for us. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Relatives who visit often notice what we have stopped seeing, and we would rather they said so plainly than be polite about it.
