About Bearwardcote Hall Residential Home

Bearwardcote Hall is a residential home near Derby. We are home to older people, both for the longer term and for shorter respite stays when a family carer needs a rest. Our priorities are plain: food worth eating, warm rooms, laundry that comes back with the right name in it, help that arrives without a long wait, and privacy when privacy is what somebody wants. Residents set their own hours rather than fitting ours, and an afternoon with nothing arranged in it is a perfectly good afternoon. There is a tendency in this sector to mistake activity for quality and we work at avoiding it. We take real trouble over knowing people. The working life, the family, which chair is theirs, how they take their tea, whether they want the news on. Those details are how somebody stays a person here rather than becoming a resident, and none of them can be learned from paperwork. We also pay attention to the things that are easy to let slide: clean spectacles, working hearing aids, a favourite cardigan coming back from the wash. Neglect shows up there first. Respite guests get the same preparation as anybody else. We ask beforehand how somebody likes things done, since a short stay leaves no room for guesswork. Families are welcome to arrive unannounced and see us on an ordinary day.
