About Crecy Care Home

Crecy Care Home is a residential care home in Weymouth, Dorset. We support a notably wide range of people. Older adults live here, including many with dementia. So do people who have managed a mental health condition for years, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. We also support people whose difficulties involve alcohol or drugs, which a good many residential homes quietly decline. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. That last point is worth saying plainly. People in that position are often moved from place to place because nobody will hold them for long, and we would rather be the point at which that stops. It asks for steadiness rather than disapproval, and for a willingness to keep going when progress is not tidy. Running a home with that spread of need takes more thought than running one where everybody is alike, so we work out what each person's day ought to look like and then make the house fit around it. For residents with dementia we keep life predictable. Where sight or hearing has gone we pay attention to light, contrast, noise and how staff approach somebody. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and visit and ask us anything.
