About Hepscott Care Centre
Hepscott Care Centre is a residential care home in Morpeth, Northumberland, providing care for older people, including people living with dementia. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. Life here runs at a domestic pace. People get up when they wake, sit where they choose, eat what they enjoy and keep the habits of a lifetime. Help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility is given when it is needed, quietly and with respect for privacy. Dementia care rests on continuity and knowledge. We work hard to keep our team settled, because a carer who knows a resident's history, family and worries can ease a difficult moment in a way that no procedure can. We keep the surroundings calm and familiar, and we give people time instead of instructions. Northumberland is a county where family often live nearby and are used to being involved, and we make that easy. Relatives visit when it suits them, and we keep in regular contact rather than waiting for a crisis. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering residential care around Morpeth, please come and see us. We are happy to show you round and answer whatever you want to ask.
