About Emerson Court
Emerson Court is a residential care home in Hornchurch, in the London Borough of Havering, caring for older people including many living with dementia. We also take respite bookings for people who need a stay of a few weeks rather than a permanent place. We run an unhurried home. People get up when they choose, keep their own belongings around them, eat food that is worth sitting down to and spend the day as suits them. There is company and something going on for those who want it, and a quiet corner for those who would rather have their own, and neither choice needs explaining. With dementia, steadiness does most of the good. Familiar staff, a predictable shape to the day, calm surroundings and time given rather than rushed. We learn about people's earlier lives from them and from their families, because knowing who somebody has been changes how you talk with them now. Where a person becomes distressed we look for the cause rather than reaching for a label. Our staff know the people living here, which is how a change in health gets noticed early and taken to the GP or district nurse before it turns serious. Families are welcome whenever suits them and are part of how decisions get made. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please ring if you would like to look round.
