About Rockingham House
Rockingham House is a residential care home in Malton supporting a wide range of adults. Some are older people, some are living with dementia, and others are adults living with mental health needs, a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We support younger adults as well as older residents, and we take respite bookings. We run the home as a household. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how to spend their time, and staff take trouble to learn what a person actually enjoys rather than offering the same thing to everybody. A care home works when the people living in it recognise their own life in it. Our dementia care is built on familiarity. We keep the day predictable, the environment calm and the staff consistent, and we follow the person rather than correcting them. For residents living with mental health needs we watch for early changes and work alongside community teams. For people with a sensory impairment or a physical disability we adjust how we communicate and how the building works for them, since independence usually comes down to practical detail. Respite guests are part of the household while they are here. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are considering a home in this part of North Yorkshire, please arrange a visit and come and see us.
