About Abraham House

Abraham House is a residential care home in Preston, Lancashire. We care for older people, including many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Families usually come to see us at a point when they have already spent months worrying, so the first thing we try to do is answer their questions honestly, including the ones they feel awkward asking. What happens if my mother refuses to get up. Can she bring her own chair. What do you do when someone is distressed at night. We would far rather have those conversations plainly at the start than smooth over them. As a residential home our work is everyday life supported well, with general practitioners and district nurses involved when needed. The things that matter most are unremarkable and require real discipline to sustain. Unrushed help with washing and dressing. Medication given properly. Food worth looking forward to. Staff who notice when a resident is not themselves. For people living with dementia we keep the routine predictable and the faces familiar, and we ask relatives for the details of a life that help a conversation start. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
