About Tasker House

Tasker House is a residential care home in Wellingborough. We care for older people, including a good many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We are a residential setting rather than a nursing home, so our focus is daily life supported properly, with community health professionals involved when someone needs them. Much of what separates a home that feels like a home from one that feels like an institution comes down to pace and attention. Being helped to get up at the hour you would choose rather than the hour that suits a rota. Being asked rather than told. Having somebody notice that you are quieter than usual and sit with you to find out why. None of that appears on a timetable, but it is what residents and their families actually remember. For people living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, and we ask relatives for the details of a person's life that make conversation possible when recent memory will not oblige. Respite stays are planned with the same thought as permanent ones. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
