About Seymour House-
Seymour House is a residential care home in Northwood, northwest London. We are a permanent home to older people and to some younger adults, and we also offer respite stays for those needing care for a short period or whose family carer needs a break. Most of our residents need help with washing and dressing, moving about safely, medication given properly and on time, and meals worth looking forward to, with somebody nearby through the night. Many are living with dementia, and for them we keep the day recognisable, keep the same familiar staff around, let people hold on to their own belongings and habits, and sit with somebody who is upset rather than trying to talk them out of it. We want to be honest with you about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than have you come across it elsewhere. We understand what the inspectors raised with us, we are working through it, and we will discuss any part of it with families, professionals and the people who live here. What we are working towards is a house that feels like a home, with food cooked here and visitors welcome without appointment. Please come and see us.
