About Abbeleigh House

Abbeleigh House is a residential care home in Romford. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for families who need a planned break. Residents here are not woken, fed or put to bed to suit us. Getting that right is most of what distinguishes a home from a facility. Residents living with dementia get a steady routine and staff who know their story. Both matter, and the second is the part most often skipped. Somebody staying a week or two should feel properly looked after, not accommodated. That means doing the groundwork before they arrive. Families are part of how we work rather than visitors to it. Relatives hold the details that make somebody make sense to us, and we ask for them properly rather than in passing. We pay attention to appetite and mood, because those usually change before anything else does. If a resident stops finishing meals or stops coming down, we want to know why rather than record it. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would rather a family felt able to ring us at any time.
