About Lady Forester Residential & Day Care Centre

Lady Forester Residential and Day Care Centre is in Broseley, Shropshire. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We should raise our rating ourselves rather than let you discover it. The Care Quality Commission last rated us requires improvement overall. We accept the finding. An inspection records what was there on the day, and putting it right is our responsibility and nobody else's. There is an action plan, the people who commission care from us know exactly where we have reached with it, and any family considering us is welcome to go through the detail with the manager rather than being handed a reassuring sentence. The daily work of the home carries on. Washing and dressing, medicines on time, meals that are hot and worth eating, and help to move about safely. For residents with dementia we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar. Where a physical disability is involved the work is about equipment, patience and allowing time. Broseley is a small Shropshire town and most of our residents are from here or nearby, which makes conversation easy. Come and look, ask the uncomfortable questions, and speak to families who are already here.
