About St Josephs Rest Home
St Josephs Rest Home is a care home in Ilford. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Moving into a care home is rarely anybody's first choice, and there is little point pretending otherwise. What we can influence is how the first few weeks go. Before somebody arrives we want to know the ordinary details of their life: how they take their tea, when they like to sleep, what they did for a living, who matters to them and what they find difficult. Those details are usually what decides whether a person settles within a fortnight or spends months feeling like a visitor. After that, the day belongs to the residents. People get up when they want, eat what they want and spend their time where they choose. Rooms are theirs, and relatives call in when it suits them. For those living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work: the same faces, a recognisable rhythm and staff who understand what lies behind a repeated question rather than simply answering it again. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at care in this part of London, please come and see us and take your time over the decision.
