About Caradoc House Residential Care Home

Caradoc House is a residential care home in Church Stretton. We look after older people who need help with daily living, including many people living with dementia, and we also offer respite stays. Moving into a care home is a significant thing, and we try to make it feel like arriving somewhere rather than being placed. Before anybody comes to live here we spend time with them and their family, learning not only what help they need but how they like their days to go, what they eat, when they sleep, who they want to hear from and what they would rather we left alone. That is the plan we then work to, and it is theirs to change. Day to day life is unhurried. People keep their own hours and their own belongings, choose company or quiet as they please, and get help with washing, dressing and moving about at their own pace and as privately as possible. Meals are cooked here and we would rather cook what somebody fancies than expect them to fit in with us. With dementia, knowing a person's life story is what allows us to offer comfort when words become harder, so we gather it with families and keep adding to it. Families are welcome at any reasonable time, and anyone thinking about a move is welcome to visit and talk to the people who live here.
