About Sycamores

Sycamores is a residential care home in Leamington Spa. We support older people and younger adults with a wide range of needs, including dementia, learning disability and autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and loss of sight or hearing. We offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Supporting people with such different needs under one roof depends on planning properly around the individual. Before somebody moves in we spend time learning how they like to live, what they manage for themselves, what they find difficult and what they want from us, and that becomes the plan rather than something written to a formula. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say that openly than have anyone find it out later. We have gone through what the inspection identified, in particular how we plan, record and review care and how consistently our staff are supported to work, and we are happy to talk through the detail with anyone considering a place here. People here keep their own belongings, run their own routines as far as they can, and are supported to get out into Leamington and to keep up with family and friends. Where a person communicates differently, we learn how, and we make sure the whole team does the same. If you would like an honest conversation about where we are, please call and come and see us.
