About Broadmead Rest Home
Broadmead is a rest home in Newbury caring for older people, including those living with dementia or mental ill health, and younger adults who need residential support. We are a domestic sort of place rather than an institutional one. Help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication is given quietly and at the time that suits the person, and we take trouble to learn how somebody has always run their day before they move in. Those preferences are written down and staff are expected to follow them. For people living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried, and we use what families tell us about the life behind the person to hold a conversation and to steady things when somebody is anxious. Where mental ill health is part of the picture we work closely with community teams and include the person properly in decisions about their own care. Meals are cooked on the premises and served without hurry. Visitors are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would far rather hear a concern early than late. Short respite stays are available, often to give a carer at home a proper rest or to help somebody regain their footing after a spell in hospital. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the house on an ordinary day.
