About Watford House Residential Home
We are Watford House Residential Home in Lichfield, Staffordshire. We provide a home for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we also offer respite stays. Our work is residential care, which means supporting people with the daily things that have become difficult while leaving them in charge of everything else. Washing and dressing, meals, medication, getting about safely. Where health needs go beyond what we provide, we work with district nurses and GPs and we say so plainly rather than stretching to cover something we should not. Dementia shapes a good deal of our day. What helps most is knowing the person. Someone who spent their working life to a particular rhythm often still carries it, and a routine that respects that will go better than one imposed on top of it. When somebody is distressed we look for the cause rather than reaching for a technique, because there is usually a cause and it is often something straightforward. Respite stays are a proper part of what we do, and guests are assessed and welcomed as fully as anyone living here permanently. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
