About The Croft Care Home
The Croft Care Home is a residential care home in Normanton, in the Wakefield district. We provide a home for older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss and people managing mental health conditions. We also support some younger adults, offer respite stays and work with people recovering from difficulties with alcohol or drugs. That is a varied group of residents, so we plan support individually rather than running the house to one pattern. People keep their own rooms, their own belongings and their own routines, and they decide how much of the day to spend in company. We ask about the small preferences and expect our staff to follow them, because those details are what make a place feel like home. For residents living with dementia, consistency does the most good. Familiar faces, routines that only change for a reason, and patience when words have become unreliable. Families are involved closely and we keep in touch openly rather than only calling when there is a problem. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects steady everyday practice rather than anything showy, which suits us. We keep examining the things that quietly slip in any home, particularly dignity and choice. If you are considering a care home in this part of Wakefield for someone close to you, you are welcome to visit, meet our residents and staff and ask us anything you like.
