About Christchurch View
Christchurch View is a residential care home in Northampton supporting older people and younger adults, including people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. A house shared by adults of different ages and very different needs only works if difference is expected rather than merely tolerated. Our residents do not want the same day as one another. Some want company from breakfast onwards, others prefer their own company until the afternoon. Some need a great deal of practical help, others mainly a settled base and staff who know them properly. Supporting people with mental health needs asks above all for consistency. Knowing what an unsettled period looks like for a particular person, what tends to help early on, and what is simply part of who they are rather than a symptom to be managed. We plan that with the person and with the professionals involved in their care. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and visitors are welcome.
