About Roop Cottage Residential Home
Roop Cottage Residential Home is in Pontefract. We support older people needing help with daily living, including those living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. We also support some younger adults and people working through problems with alcohol or drugs. That is a wide range, and what holds it together is planning around the individual rather than a house routine everybody has to fit. We find out how somebody wants their day to run, what tends to help when things are difficult and who we should contact, and we treat that as the substance of the care. We want to be open about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are working through the points raised, with attention to record keeping, staff supervision and the consistency of care planning, and we would rather set that out ourselves and answer your questions than have you find it elsewhere. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Families across the Wakefield district are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
