About Summerfield Care Home
Here at Summerfield Care Home in Burton On Trent, Staffordshire, we provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, as well as shorter term respite stays for those who need a little extra support for a while. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who lives here feels safe, comfortable and genuinely at home. We take the time to get to know each resident as an individual, understanding their routines, preferences and what matters most to them in day to day life. Our team works hard to create an environment that feels warm and familiar rather than clinical or institutional. Whether someone is joining us on a permanent basis or for a short respite break, we want them to feel settled and well cared for from the moment they arrive. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission, and our most recent inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement. We want to be straightforward about that. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making real and practical changes to how we operate. We believe in being open with families and prospective residents about where we are on that journey, rather than glossing over it. Dementia care is a significant part of what we do here, and we work thoughtfully to support residents living with dementia in a way that respects their dignity and maintains as much familiarity and routine as possible. If you would like to find out more or come and have a look around, we would genuinely welcome the chance to meet you and talk through how we might be able to help.
