About Us

We provide nursing and residential care in Rushden for people whose needs range from help with daily living to care that requires qualified nursing. We look after older people, and a good deal of our work is with people living with dementia.

Having registered nurses on duty means medication, pain, wounds, continence and the difficulties people have with eating, drinking and moving can be managed properly and without waiting, and that a change in somebody's health is noticed early. Because we provide residential care as well, a person whose needs increase over time does not necessarily have to move again, which matters a great deal to those who have already made one difficult move.

Alongside the clinical work we try to protect the ordinary business of living: choosing when to get up, what to wear, what to eat and who you want sitting with you. Caring well for somebody living with dementia depends less on procedure than on knowing them, so we ask families to tell us about working life, children, music, faith and old habits.

Respite stays are available as well as permanent places.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and see us and ask whatever you need to.
