About Rothbury Cottage Care

Rothbury Cottage Care is a residential home in Morpeth, Northumberland. We support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. Some of the people living with us are younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Morpeth is a Northumbrian market town and most of the people here are from it or from the country around it. Staff tend to be local and tend to stay, which does more for the people living here than anything else we could list, and relatives are usually close enough to call in without making a journey of it. For residents with dementia the work is mostly about consistency. The same staff, the same rhythms, a bedroom that looks like the person's own room, and nothing moved without a reason. Where sight or hearing has gone, a building that is hard to read shrinks a person's confidence, so we pay attention to light, contrast, noise, signage and how staff approach somebody. Where a physical disability is involved the work is about equipment, patience and allowing time. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visit without an appointment if you would rather. We would honestly prefer it.
