About Amber House Residential Home
Amber House Residential Home is in Burton on Trent, providing residential care to older people, with respite stays available too. We are a home for people who need help with everyday living rather than nursing care, and many of our residents live with dementia. We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would far rather families read that here than come across it elsewhere and wonder why we did not mention it. We understand what was identified, we are working through it, and we are willing to go through both the findings and our response in detail with anyone who asks. What we are working towards is not complicated. Residents should be supported by people who know them well, at a pace that suits them, in a routine that makes sense. Dementia care in particular depends on familiarity and on staff having the time to understand what someone is trying to communicate, and getting the basics consistently right is how that becomes possible. The people living here remain our first concern throughout, and their families deserve honesty from us about the problems as well as the progress. If you are considering a place for a relative, please come and visit, ask us hard questions, and judge the home on what you see.
