About Horton House Residential Care Home
Horton House Residential Care Home in Gloucester provides care to older people and younger adults, including many residents living with dementia. We think a care home should feel like somewhere you live rather than somewhere you have been placed, and nearly everything we do follows from that. In practice that means flexible mornings, meals people genuinely look forward to, and keeping a person's own furniture, photographs and habits around them so that their room is recognisably theirs. It also means support with washing and dressing given calmly and at the resident's pace. Dementia care asks for patience rather than correction. When someone is anxious, or looking for a person or place from an earlier part of their life, we respond to the feeling rather than arguing with the facts, and we work out what will genuinely settle them. We gather life history early from the people who know someone best, because it shapes the care more than any form could. Families are welcome throughout the day, and we would much rather hear about a worry early than late. We also offer respite stays for shorter periods. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and you are very welcome to look round.
