About Kingsley Cottage
Kingsley Cottage is a small residential care home in Cannock, Staffordshire, and we provide a home for older people who need support with daily living. Respite stays are available too. Being small is the point rather than a limitation. In a house this size everybody is known properly, staff are not strangers, and the day can follow the people who live here rather than a timetable. Residents decide when to get up, where to sit, whether they want company or quiet, and what they would like to eat. We help with personal care, dressing, medication and mobility, doing it quietly and leaving as much privacy and choice with the resident as we can. Where somebody can still manage a task themselves, that is theirs to keep. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. We keep the daily rhythm and the surroundings steady, give people time to find their words instead of finishing their sentences, and take trouble to learn about earlier life, because knowing what somebody did for a living and what they loved tells us a great deal once language becomes unreliable. Families usually hold that story, and we ask for it early rather than guessing. Respite bookings are planned with the same care as permanent moves, because a break only rests a family if the person staying here is genuinely settled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon and ask us anything you like.
