About Deerwood Sanctuary Residential Care Home
Deerwood Sanctuary Residential Care Home is in Kidderminster, providing residential care for older people and for adults with physical disabilities, including younger adults. We offer respite stays as well. We are a residential home rather than a nursing one and we say so plainly, because families deserve to know what they are arranging. What we provide is patient, skilled help with everyday living: washing and dressing, medicines, getting about, meals worth looking forward to, company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. If somebody's health needs grow beyond what we can meet well, we raise it early and help think through what comes next. For residents with physical disabilities, dependability is what counts most. Equipment used correctly by everybody rather than by some, transfers done the same careful way every time, and a building that somebody can actually move around in. Those are matters of training and consistency rather than good intentions. The character of a home comes from its staff, so keeping a settled team is where our effort goes. When people stay, care becomes a matter of knowing the person instead of reading their notes. Respite stays suit carers needing a break and people regaining strength after illness. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Please come and see the house on an ordinary day and ask us whatever you like.
