About Park House Residential Care Home

Park House Residential Care Home is a residential care home in Oldham, caring for older people and for people living with dementia. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a few weeks, whether after a hospital stay or to give a family carer a rest. Our approach to dementia care is built on knowing people well. We ask families to tell us about the person before dementia became part of the picture, their work, their family, the food they like and the routines that have always steadied them. That information is not filed away, it is what our staff use every day to keep someone calm, occupied and treated as themselves rather than as a set of symptoms. Days here are not heavily programmed. Some people want company, music and something to do. Others want a quiet room and a cup of tea in peace. We think both are perfectly good ways to spend an afternoon, and we would rather follow the person than the timetable. Families are part of the home. Oldham is where most of our residents have spent their lives, and we keep those connections going wherever we can. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We would encourage anyone considering Park House to visit, look around properly and ask us the difficult questions.
