About Stockingate Residential Home

Stockingate Residential Home in Pontefract is a care home for older people who need help with daily living, including many people living with dementia. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our everyday work is the ordinary business of a household run well. Help with washing, dressing and moving about at the person's own pace and as privately as possible. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here with real choice. Rooms that people make their own with their own furniture and pictures. With dementia we lean on knowing somebody well, gathering their history with their family, and keeping the shape of the day predictable. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute what was found. Since then we have strengthened staffing and supervision, tightened how we manage medicines and the records we keep, and had senior staff check the care actually being given rather than the care described on paper. That work continues and we are not going to claim otherwise. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions honestly than leave a family to find it out later. Anyone considering the home is welcome to visit, see how things are now, talk to the people who live here, and ask us anything at all.
