About Guild House Residential Home
Guild House Residential Home is in Gloucester, and we provide residential care for older people, including a good many residents living with dementia. We are a residential setting rather than a nursing home, which means our focus is on everyday living well supported, with community health professionals involved when they are needed. What we offer is not complicated, but it does have to be done consistently. Help with washing and dressing at a sensible pace. Medication given properly and on time. Meals that people actually want to eat, and company at the table. Someone who notices when a resident is quieter than usual. For people living with dementia, familiarity does much of the work, so we keep our staffing steady and the daily rhythm predictable, and we take the trouble to learn each person's history so that a conversation has somewhere to go. Families often tell us things that never reach a care plan, and those details are usually the most useful ones we have. We offer respite stays for people who need a break from caring at home or who want company and support while recovering from an illness. A short stay is planned with the same thought as a permanent move. Visitors are welcome, and we would rather hear a concern while it is small. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
