About Denecroft Residential Care Home
Denecroft Residential Care Home is a care home in Newcastle upon Tyne. We provide a home for older people and we also offer respite stays, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to help somebody find their feet again after a spell in hospital. We would rather be judged on ordinary things than on anything grand. Knowing how everybody likes their tea. Remembering which chair belongs to whom. Understanding who wants company from breakfast onwards and who would much rather be left with a newspaper. Helping somebody up when they wake rather than when it suits a rota. We ask about these preferences, write them down and expect them to be followed, because that is most of what makes a place feel like home instead of an institution. Residents keep their own furniture and photographs and decide how their days run. Some want conversation and activity from early on. Others want privacy and a quiet afternoon, and neither needs justifying to us. Families are welcome whenever it suits them, and we keep in touch openly rather than only ringing when there is a difficulty. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects reliable everyday practice, which is what most families are actually looking for, and we keep checking the detail rather than assuming it will hold on its own. If you are considering a care home in Newcastle for someone close to you, please come and look round and ask us anything you like.
