About Sherwood House

Sherwood House is a residential care home in Nottingham. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We are home to younger adults as well, and we offer respite stays. A mixed household asks more of us rather than less. One routine will not suit everybody, so we work out individually what a good day looks like for each person and build from there. For some it is structure and company. For others it is being left largely to themselves, and we treat that as a legitimate preference rather than something to be talked out of. Where somebody communicates differently, whether because of a sensory impairment or for another reason, we deal with that first and properly. Everything else we do rests on it. Where a person can still do something themselves we support them to keep doing it, even when stepping in would be quicker. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We ask residents and their families regularly what we should be doing differently, and we act on the answers rather than recording them.
