About Abbott House

Abbott House in Oundle is a residential care home in North Northamptonshire, looking after older people who need support with daily living. Dementia care is a large part of what we do. We keep the house calm and familiar, we give people time rather than hurrying them through the day, and we make sure staff know each resident's history and habits, because that knowledge is what turns a set of tasks into care that actually fits the person. We want this to feel like somewhere people live. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines, choose how they spend their time and see visitors whenever suits them. Meals are planned around what people genuinely enjoy, and there is company for anyone who wants it and a quiet corner for anyone who does not. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a proper break or to support somebody while they regain strength after illness. Relatives are part of daily life here. We keep them informed, welcome them at any reasonable hour, and ask for what they know about the person, which is usually more useful than anything on a form. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round at a time that suits you and ask us whatever you need to ask.
