About 2 Windsor Avenue

We are 2 Windsor Avenue, a residential care home in Kettering, North Northamptonshire. We support older people and younger adults who need help with everyday life, including residents with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. This is a house in an ordinary street, and that is the point. The people who live here are part of the local community rather than set apart from it, and our job is to help each of them live the life they choose. Support is planned one person at a time. We help with personal care where it is wanted, with cooking, laundry and shopping, with medication and appointments, and with the practical business of running a home. We also support people to get out locally and to stay close to family and friends. For residents with physical disabilities we pay close attention to mobility, to moving safely about the house and to the equipment and arrangements that let someone do more without help. Those practical details often decide whether a person feels capable or dependent, so we would rather get them right than treat them as an afterthought. Families are welcome whenever they wish to visit. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we keep asking the people living here whether this feels like their home.
