About Prospect House Care Home
Prospect House Care Home is a residential home in Prescot supporting people living with dementia, with respite stays available alongside permanent places. Dementia care is what we do, so we try to do it properly rather than approximately. That means a day with a predictable shape, familiar staff, and surroundings that somebody can make sense of and find their way around. It means time, which is the thing most often in short supply, so that when a person is anxious or confused our staff can sit with them and work out what is happening rather than hurry them along. It also means knowing people. We ask families to tell us about a person's working life, their habits, the music they love, the routines they have kept for decades and the people who matter to them. That history is nearly always what allows us to reassure somebody rather than correct them, and it turns a set of needs back into a person. Rooms are personal, visitors are welcome without appointment, and we would always rather raise a concern with relatives early than leave a worry to sit. Moving a relative into a care home is a decision most families agonise over, and we try to make the early weeks as steady as we can. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the home and ask us whatever you want to know.
