About Lane House Residential Care Home
We are a residential care home in Tamworth, providing a home for older people who need support with the ordinary business of daily life. We try to keep the atmosphere of a house rather than a facility, with people bringing their own furniture and pictures and carrying on with the things they have always enjoyed. We help with personal care, mobility, meals and medication, and we care for people living with dementia. What makes the real difference with dementia, in our experience, is familiar staff, routines that stay put and enough time that nothing needs rushing. We also support people with a physical disability, thinking carefully about how rooms are set up so that independence is not quietly eroded, and people with a visual or hearing impairment, adapting how we communicate. Respite stays are available as well. A planned break can be what allows a family carer to keep going, and a short stay is also a gentle way of finding out whether a care home is the right step. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would much rather a resident or relative raised a concern while it was still small, so we ask often and we act on what we hear. Please do come and visit. Looking round and meeting people tells you far more than anything written down.
