About The Chadwick
The Chadwick is a residential care home in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We try to run this as a home rather than an institution. People keep their own routines, bring their own things and make their own decisions about the shape of the day, and our job is to provide the right amount of practical help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility without quietly taking over what somebody can still do themselves. Dementia care is a large part of what we do. We spend time learning about each person's life, habits and the things that settle them, and we keep the environment calm and staffing as consistent as we can. Where a resident has a sight or hearing impairment, we adapt how we communicate and are careful about keeping the building and their room arranged as they expect, because small changes cause disproportionate difficulty. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around it. We know which areas were identified, we are working through them with the whole team, and if you come to see us we will tell you honestly where we have got to and what is still in hand. Families are welcome at The Chadwick, and we would rather hear a concern early than late.
