About Church View (Murton)

Church View in Murton provides residential care to older people and younger adults. Our residents include people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with a physical disability. With that range of needs we plan around the individual rather than the group. When someone moves in we ask a great many questions, about routines and preferences, about what helps on a difficult day, and about who should be involved in decisions. Those answers go into a plan our staff genuinely work to, and we revisit it as circumstances change. Day to day we keep the home comfortable and unhurried. People get up when they are ready, meals are cooked here and adapted to individual tastes, and help with personal care is given calmly and with dignity. Company is available for those who want it and quiet is respected for those who do not. For residents living with dementia we keep routines familiar and spend real time learning a person's history, because that is usually what settles someone who is anxious. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and relatives are welcome throughout the day.
