About Beach Crest Residential Home

Beach Crest is a residential home in New Milton for older people who need help with daily living. We support people living with dementia and people with mental health needs, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our aim is an ordinary life with the help that makes it possible. People keep their own hours and their own belongings, choose where and with whom to spend the day, and are helped with washing, dressing and moving about as privately and unhurriedly as we can arrange. Meals are cooked here with real choice at each one, and the kitchen will usually make something particular if somebody fancies it. With dementia, knowing a person well is what makes the difference. We gather somebody's history with their family when they arrive and keep adding to it, so that staff respond to the person rather than to a set of behaviours, and we keep the rhythm of the day predictable because that does more good than any amount of organised activity. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition we try to be steady and clear rather than unpredictable. We watch health carefully without turning the house into a clinic, involve the surgery and community teams early, and tell families what is happening instead of waiting to be asked. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall, and visitors are welcome at any reasonable time.
