About Sycamore House Care Home

Sycamore House Care Home is a residential home in Hull. We care for older people and younger adults, including many residents living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Moving into a care home is rarely anybody's first choice, and we think it helps to say so rather than pretend otherwise. What we can do is make the move as unsettling as it needs to be and no more, by learning about a person before they arrive, keeping hold of the things that anchor them and accepting that the first weeks may be hard without treating that as a failure. Day to day the work is unremarkable and has to be done consistently. Unrushed help with washing and dressing. Medication given properly. Meals people actually want, with company at the table. Staff who notice when a resident is not themselves. For people living with dementia, familiarity carries most of the load, so we keep our staffing steady and the routine predictable, and we ask families for the details of a life that no assessment records. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
