About Hermitage House Care Home
We are Hermitage House Care Home in Kettering, North Northamptonshire. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Ours is residential rather than nursing care. We support people with the everyday things that have become difficult, including washing and dressing, meals, medication and moving about safely, while working with district nurses and GPs for anything beyond our registration. We are clear with families about where that boundary sits, because a placement that turns out to be the wrong fit does nobody any good. Dementia care occupies much of our day. What helps most is knowing the person rather than the diagnosis. Their history, their working life, the routines they have kept for decades and the things they would never have tolerated. That knowledge tells us how to approach a difficult morning better than any general technique does, and families are usually the ones who can give it to us. Respite stays are a real part of what we do. Guests are assessed and welcomed as fully as anyone staying permanently, whether they are recovering after illness or giving a family carer a break. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and do not currently hold an overall rating.
