Cumberland care home is a comfortable and welcoming care home that provides quality residential, dementia and nursing care for older people.

The team takes a person-centred care approach, placing great emphasis on personal dignity and providing as many opportunities as possible for those with dementia to live independently. They get to know each new resident, from their physical needs to their personality, to create care and lifestyle plans that are unique to them.

Cumberland has activity and sensory rooms, a comfortable lounge and inviting outdoor spaces that are wheelchair accessible. The home maintains strong links with the local community, often inviting local schools, churches and other groups to take part in social events.

From the manager

“My favourite part of each day is when l do my morning and afternoon walk arounds, talking to residents, asking how they slept and checking how my team is doing and checking whether they have any concerns. At lunchtimes I enjoy seeing food trollies going to the units and observing residents enjoying their meal. Every day in the home is different and I enjoy seeing residents adjust to the new environment and when they get better, seeing families smile after visits. I also have the joy of supporting and watching new staff learn and adapting to new ways of working.”
