About Laburnum House Shaw

Laburnum House Shaw is a residential care home in Oldham, caring for older people who can no longer manage safely at home. We aim for the feel of a household rather than an institution, with people keeping their own routines, their own belongings and a real say in how their day goes. We support people living with dementia, and that work depends on continuity above all. Knowing what somebody's day used to look like, keeping as much of it as we can and understanding what sits behind distress rather than simply managing it is what makes the difference between a settled day and a difficult one. We also care for younger adults, and we plan their day around their own interests rather than around everybody else's. Respite stays are available too, for people who need care for a short period and for family carers who need a proper break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better test is the everyday evidence, whether people are up and occupied, whether mealtimes are sociable and whether relatives feel able to raise a concern early rather than saving it up. Please come and see for yourself.
