Embracing Family Values: A Glimpse Into Tusker House Care Home

Welcome to Tusker House, where the warmth of family permeates every aspect of our care. Established in 1965, Tusker House stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of familial devotion in providing compassionate care for individuals living with dementia. As a family run care home, we understand the profound challenges families face when navigating the transition into residential care.

Entering residential care marks a significant milestone for both individuals and their loved ones. It’s a journey often fraught with uncertainty and emotional complexity. At Tusker House, we recognise the weight of this decision and strive to support families every step of the way. Our commitment begins with an open invitation to visit our home, allowing families to experience firsthand the nurturing environment we provide.

Central to our approach is the comprehensive assessment we conduct for each resident. We recognise that every individual has unique needs and preferences, and it’s essential to ensure that Tusker House is the right fit for them. Through personalised assessments, we gain insight into their medical, emotional, and social requirements, empowering us to tailor our care to suit their individual needs.

At Tusker House, we uphold the values of compassion, dignity, and respect in all interactions. Our dedicated team members not only possess the necessary expertise but also embody the empathy and understanding crucial for fostering meaningful connections with residents. From assisting with daily activities to organising engaging recreational programs, we strive to create a supportive community where residents feel valued and empowered.

At the heart of Tusker House lies a commitment to honouring the dignity and individuality of every resident. With our unwavering dedication to family values, we endeavour to make the transition into residential care a seamless and enriching experience for both residents and their loved ones.

At Tusker House, we are not just a care home; we are a family, united in compassion and care, so get in touch today.

My dad has been a resident at Tusker House for almost a year now. The staff have always been very attentive allowing my dad to do what he can for himself; they are all very kind and caring. I am always kept up to date with my dads well being. During the pandemic, obviously, no one could visit their loved ones, however, Tusker House set up a WhatsApp video calling system and sent photos which we very much appreciated. The system that has now been put in place to visit residents is amazing, a lot of thought has gone into making it a safe environment for everyone. After not seeing my dad for almost 8-months, I was overjoyed to see how well and contented he was. I cannot thank everyone enough for the continued care they show my dad. I would highly recommend Tusker House to anyone that is looking for a care home

Our family are very grateful to the entire team at Tusker House, they all work tirelessly to care for our mother. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The attention to detail is outstanding; this is best demonstrated in the close monitoring of food and hydration, which has resulted in a (much needed) healthy weight gain. It is a huge comfort knowing our mother is in such safe hands; her every need is attended to by the excellent team. Our mother is treated with dignity and kindness. We are kept up-to-date, well informed and involved with all aspects of her care from carers and the management team who are always available. I cannot recommend this home highly enough!

My mother moved to Tusker House a year ago and the care has been outstanding, far beyond what I expected. My mother told me she loves being there and whenever I visit she seems very contented. There is always a welcoming cheerful atmosphere, the residents are treated as individuals and nothing is too much trouble for the carers. Her room is lovely and always spotlessly clean, and mum is always clean and tidy. The staff are all very approachable and keep me informed of any issues, they all know my mum very well and understand her needs. It was a difficult decision to move mum to a care home, but I feel lucky to have found Tusker House and could not wish for better care for her - I can't fault it at all.

Looking for a care home for my mum who is 93 yrs of age who has dementia was very daunting challenge for me. I found Tusker House, it stated on their website that it was warm, friendly and has a relaxing atmosphere. This was so true. The staff are amazing and the care my mum receives is second to none. I would recommend Tusker House. I cannot speak highly enough of them.

Joseph H (Son of Resident)

My mum passed away after almost 5 happy years in Tusker House. She was really well cared for and her death was one to be envious of: calm, peaceful supported by people who knew her so well. Surrounded with her Beatles memorabilia and music playing in her own room, not alone and not suffering. We are incredibly grateful to the team of staff who made mum's life worth living again after 20 years of decline. I leave it to my mum's own words "I am so lucky to be here". She truly was.
