About Karenza Care Home
We are Karenza Care Home, a care home in Rowley Regis in Sandwell. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people managing mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a short while. We plan care one person at a time, because the people living here do not have a single shared set of needs. What helps somebody with dementia feel calm is not what helps somebody managing a long standing mental health condition, and trying to run one routine for everybody tends to suit nobody. So we spend time on detail: how a person likes to be spoken to, what they can still do themselves, what tends to make a difficult day and what heads it off. Dementia care in particular rests on patience and a familiar rhythm. We keep the day recognisable, avoid surprises, and when somebody is distressed we look for the cause rather than simply trying to settle them. Families frequently know exactly what works, and we would much rather be told than find out slowly. People here decide when they get up, what they eat, what they do and who they see. Visitors are welcome at whatever time suits, and we would far rather hear a worry early and directly than have it kept quiet. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. We keep asking residents and relatives where we still need to improve.
