About Us

We are a residential care home in Cockermouth, providing a home for older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia.

We try to run an unhurried house. A good deal of care is spoiled simply by being rushed, so we aim to give people the time to wash, dress and eat at their own pace, and to sit with somebody who wants to talk rather than moving straight on to the next job. Residents keep their own belongings and their own routines so far as we can manage, and they decide how much they want to be part of whatever is going on.

Dementia care comes down to knowing the person. We ask families to tell us about work, children, music, faith, old habits and small dislikes, because that knowledge is what allows a member of staff to reassure somebody who is frightened or who cannot place where they are. It is worth far more than any written procedure.

We offer respite as well as permanent places. A planned break can be what allows a relative to keep providing care at home for longer.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Families are welcome to visit whenever they wish, and we would much rather hear about a problem early than find out about it late. Please come and see the home for yourself.
