About Merevale House Residential Home
Merevale House is a residential care home in Atherstone, Warwickshire. We provide residential care for adults who can no longer manage on their own, and a large part of our work is caring for people living with dementia. We are not a nursing home, and it is worth being clear about that. What we offer is residential care: help with washing and dressing, medication given on time, meals cooked here, laundry done, and staff on duty through the night as well as the day. Doctors and district nurses come in when clinical care is needed. For a great many people this is exactly the right level of support, and it takes far less from their independence than a clinical setting would. Dementia asks something particular of a home. It asks for a day that runs in a familiar order, for surroundings that are easy to make sense of, and for staff who do not correct or argue but go where the person is. We take time to learn about somebody's working life, family and habits, because that is what allows us to understand them when words begin to fail. Respite and short stays are available, whether for a planned break or for recovery. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit Merevale House and see the place for yourself.
