About Burton Oaks
We are a residential care home in Kettering. The people who live here are mostly older, though we also support younger adults, and between them they bring a wide range of needs: dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and loss of sight or hearing among them. What they have in common is that they need a home where help is at hand without their lives being taken over by it. We try to keep ordinary life going. Residents choose how their days run, keep their own belongings and routines, and are helped to stay in touch with the people and places that matter to them. Where someone is living with dementia we spend time learning about their history and habits, because knowing a person is what allows staff to settle them when they are anxious rather than simply managing the moment. Families are part of this. We would far rather you visited often, told us when something is not right and asked questions than felt you were intruding. We also offer respite stays, which can give a relative who provides care a planned break or support someone through a period of recovery. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering a care home for someone, come and see us. We will show you round, answer what we can and be straight with you about whether we are able to meet the needs you describe.
