About The Rookery Care Home

The Rookery Care Home is in Nottingham. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available. We would rather tell you this ourselves. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us as requires improvement. We are not going to write around it. The findings were taken seriously, there is an improvement plan we are working through, and if you come and see us you should ask directly what has changed and what is still outstanding. You will get a plain answer. What has not changed is how we believe people should be treated. This is their home. Residents choose how their rooms look, when they get up, what they do with the day and who comes to see them. We spend the early weeks learning about a person rather than fitting them into our routine. Dementia care rests on patience and a recognisable day. We avoid springing things on people, we keep routines familiar, and when somebody is distressed we go looking for the cause rather than trying to smooth it over. Real improvement comes from listening to residents and relatives and then acting rather than recording. That is where our attention sits, and we welcome anybody who wants to hold us to it.
