About Springbank Rest Home

Springbank Rest Home is a residential care home in Heywood, offering permanent places and respite stays for older people. We should say at the outset that our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to gloss over that. We know what was found, we have an improvement plan we are working through, and we are in regular contact with the inspectors and with the local authority about our progress. Anyone thinking about a place here should ask us exactly what is changing and how we are checking that it sticks, and we will give a straight answer. What we are holding onto while we put things right is a home that feels like a home. We are not a large place, people are known here rather than processed, and the day belongs to the people living it. Getting up and going to bed when you want, eating what you like, having your own things around you and seeing visitors whenever they call are not extras. Our staff help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility, and with the ordinary company that makes a difference to somebody who has been living alone. Respite stays can also be a practical way for a family carer to take a break, or for somebody to see how they get on here before making a longer decision. Please come and look round and judge us for yourself.
