About Us

Grove Court is a residential care home in Newcastle under Lyme, and we support adults living with mental ill health. Respite stays are available as well.

What we provide most of is stability. A team that residents come to know properly, a shape to the week that holds, and a house that does not come apart when somebody has a difficult stretch. Mental health rarely moves in a straight line, and we plan for that rather than treating a bad fortnight as a failure on anybody's part.

Support is agreed with the person and written in words they recognise. Some residents need a good deal of practical help with daily living, medication and appointments. Others mainly want somewhere settled to live while they rebuild, with support available when they ask rather than imposed. We work alongside community mental health teams, GPs and social workers, and we keep asking when somebody needs something that is slow in coming.

We also take people's own plans seriously. Work, study, hobbies, family, friendships and moving on to something more independent are things to support rather than manage around.

We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have worked through the findings with our team, and that is where our attention is concentrated now. We would rather say so ourselves and be asked about it.

Anyone considering Grove Court, family or professional, is welcome to visit and put questions to us directly.
