About Snowdrop Place Care Home
Snowdrop Place is a residential care home in Southampton, providing a permanent home for adults who need care and support with the everyday business of living. We try to keep the atmosphere domestic rather than institutional, because that is what most people actually want. Our care is residential rather than nursing. We help with personal care, medication, meals, mobility and company, and we call in community health professionals when something more clinical is needed. Many of our residents live with dementia, and we rely on continuity above all: familiar staff who know a person's history, a routine that does not keep shifting and reassurance given as often as it is needed. We also support younger adults, planning their interests and routines on their own terms. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break from caring at home. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would sooner tell you that ourselves than leave you to find it later and wonder what else went unsaid. The areas identified are where our effort is concentrated at present. If you are considering the home for someone you care about, please visit, speak to the people who live here and ask us about it face to face.
