About Stuart House
Stuart House is a care home in Weston Super Mare, providing residential care for adults across North Somerset. We support older people, residents living with dementia, adults living with mental ill health and younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who need care for a short period. We aim to run the place at a human pace. Getting up when you want to get up, eating when you are hungry, having somewhere to sit quietly and somewhere else to be sociable. It is not a complicated philosophy, but it takes a team that notices things, and that is what we try hardest to build and keep. Supporting people with dementia means being patient with repetition and calm when someone is distressed, and it also means knowing enough about a person's life to make sense of what they are telling us. Families are a large part of that, and we would much rather hear too much from relatives than too little. Being by the coast has its advantages. A walk along the front, the air, the light off the water. Small outings do a lot for how a week feels. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at homes in Weston Super Mare, come and see ours. Visit at a normal time on a normal day and you will get an honest picture.
