We are passionate about the people who live here

Chatsworth provides residential care for adults over sixty five, including people living with dementia and people approaching the end of their lives. We are registered for twenty six residents, which is small enough that everyone who works here knows everyone who lives here. That is rather the point of the place.

What we provide

Care here is personal in the literal sense. We build it around what each resident wants and needs, and we change it as those needs change, rather than asking people to fit a routine that happens to suit the building. Residents are encouraged to say how and when they want things done.
  • Residential care for adults over sixty five
  • Dementia care at every stage
  • End of life and palliative care
  • Support after a stroke
  • Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
  • Support with physical disabilities

Who we work with

Our staff train every year in dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, diabetes, mental capacity, deprivation of liberty, pressure care, medication, safeguarding and end of life care. Everyone has an enhanced criminal record check before they start. We do not use agency staff and we have no intention of starting.
