About Sturbridge
Here at Sturbridge, we provide home care support to people living in Northampton and the wider West Northamptonshire area. Our work takes place in the most important setting of all — people's own homes — and we take that responsibility seriously. We support individuals across a range of needs, including dementia care, learning disabilities, autism, mental health, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Because the people we work with have such varied experiences and requirements, we make it a point to understand each person as an individual before we ever talk about care routines or schedules. What works well for one person may not suit another, and we try to reflect that in everything we do. We are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, and we want to be straightforward with anyone considering our support: our most recent CQC rating identified areas where we need to improve. We have taken that feedback seriously and are actively working through the changes needed to raise the standard of our care. We think it matters that people choosing a care provider can make that decision with honest information in front of them, and we would rather be open about where we are than paint a rosier picture than the reality warrants. Our team works across the community each day, visiting people in their homes and supporting them to live as independently and comfortably as possible. Whether someone needs help for a few hours a week or more regular daily support, we aim to provide consistency and a familiar face wherever we can. If you would like to find out more about how we might be able to help you or a family member, we are always happy to have an initial conversation with no pressure or obligation involved.
