About Badgers Holt Residential Care Home
Badgers Holt is a residential care home in Southampton for older people who need help with daily living, including many people living with dementia. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We are a house rather than an institution and we work to keep it feeling that way. People bring their own furniture and photographs, keep their own hours, choose where to spend the day and get help with washing and dressing at their own pace and as privately as we can manage. Meals are cooked here with real choice at each one, and food matters a great deal to how people feel about a day. Dementia care here rests on familiarity and patience. We learn a person's life story with their family when they arrive and keep adding to it, so that when words become harder we still have ways of offering comfort and recognition, and we keep the rhythm of the day predictable because that does more good than any amount of organised activity. We keep an eye on health without turning the place into a clinic. If somebody seems off colour we act on it early, involve the surgery and the district nurses, and tell families what is happening rather than waiting for them to ask. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall. Anyone thinking about a move is welcome to visit and talk to the people who live here.
