About Caldene Rest Home
We are Caldene Rest Home in West Bromwich, in the borough of Sandwell. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we also take respite stays. Residential care means helping with what has become hard work and leaving everything else in the hands of the person. Washing and dressing, meals, medication, getting about safely, and the ordinary company that makes a day worth having. For health needs beyond our registration we work with district nurses and GPs rather than stretching to cover them, and we are clear with families about where that line falls. Where dementia and a sensory impairment sit together, which happens often, we check the simple explanation first. A good deal of what gets written down as confusion turns out to be a conversation nobody could hear properly. We try to get the environment and the communication right before drawing conclusions about the person. For residents with a physical disability the practical details matter most. Enough time that a transfer is unhurried, equipment set up properly, and asking the person how they prefer it done rather than assuming we know. Respite guests are assessed and welcomed exactly as permanent residents are. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
