About Sycamore Cottage Rest Home
Sycamore Cottage Rest Home is a residential care home in Basingstoke supporting older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia and people managing mental ill health. We offer permanent places and planned respite stays. We are a small home and that shapes everything about how we work. Staff know every resident properly rather than by a note in a file, which means changes get noticed early and preferences are remembered without anyone having to ask twice. There is time here for a conversation and time to sit with someone who is having a hard afternoon. For residents living with dementia, we work from life history. Someone's working life, their family and what has always comforted them tell us far more about how to support them than any general approach, and when a resident is distressed we look for the specific reason rather than reaching for a routine answer. For those managing mental ill health, structure and continuity do a great deal of the work: reliable meals, help with medication and staff who can tell an ordinary bad day from a genuine deterioration. Respite stays give family carers a real break and give guests a proper welcome into the life of the house. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and visit on an ordinary day and meet the people who live here.
