About Willow Brook House

Willow Brook House is a nursing home in Corby. We care for older people and younger adults with nursing needs, including people living with dementia and people managing mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays. We should be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted the findings, we have been working through them, and if you are considering the home for a relative we would expect you to ask us exactly what has changed and what is still outstanding. Qualified nurses are on duty at all hours, so complex health needs, medication, wound and continence care and care at the end of life are managed here rather than requiring somebody to move again. Changes in a resident's health are noticed by staff who know them. Residents have their own rooms and their own routines, and we ask at the outset how somebody has always liked their day to run. For people living with dementia we keep the day steady and unhurried and learn what reassures a particular person. Where somebody has a mental health condition we work alongside their community team so that our approach matches what they are used to. Families are welcome through the day and we keep in touch regularly rather than only when something has gone wrong. Please come and look round, speak to residents and relatives while you are here, and judge the place for yourself.
