About Morewood Centre

Morewood Centre in Alfreton is a residential home supporting older people and younger adults. Our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss, and we also offer respite stays. Supporting that range well means building round individuals rather than running everyone the same way. Before anybody moves in we spend time with them and whoever they want involved, learning how they like their days to go, what they manage perfectly well themselves, where help would be welcome and what they would rather we left alone. That becomes the plan and it is theirs to change. Help with personal care, mobility, medication and health appointments is given as the person has asked and recorded carefully, so it happens the same way whoever is on shift. Rooms and equipment get real thought, since independence often turns on whether something is within reach. Where there is sensory loss we attend to lighting, contrast, clear signs and hearing aids that have actually been checked. Where somebody communicates differently we learn how and write it down, so a new colleague is not starting from nothing. With dementia we lean on knowing a person well, gathering their history with their family and keeping it current. We encourage people to keep a life beyond the house. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
