About Thomas Fields Care Centre

We are Thomas Fields Care Centre, a residential care home in Buxton, Derbyshire. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and people managing an eating disorder. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we are not going to write around it. We have looked closely at what the inspection found, changed how care is planned, recorded and reviewed, and strengthened the training and supervision of our staff. Our progress is being monitored, and we tell families and commissioners the same things we tell the regulator. That is a wide range of needs under one roof, and it only works if we plan around individuals rather than running one routine for everyone. Somebody who wants a busy, sociable day and somebody who needs quiet and a predictable rhythm can both live well here, provided we pay proper attention to who needs what. If you are considering us for someone, please come and see the home and ask about the rating directly. We will answer fully rather than reassuringly.
