About Clifford House Residential Care Home
Clifford House Residential Care Home is in Andover, Hampshire, providing residential care for older people, including people living with dementia. We also welcome guests for respite stays. We run the home the way a household runs. People get up when they wake, sit where they choose, eat what they enjoy and keep the habits of a lifetime. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is given when it is needed, quietly and without anybody feeling they have been taken over. Good dementia care depends far less on any particular technique than on knowledge and time. Our team learns each resident's history, their family, their working life and their worries, and uses that every day. A person who is anxious or agitated is telling us something, and it is our job to work out what. Families are part of the home here. We encourage relatives to visit when it suits them, and we keep in contact about health and mood rather than only ringing when something has gone wrong. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Andover, please arrange to come in, meet the team and see the place on an ordinary afternoon. That will tell you more than any brochure.
