Care Homes in Derbyshire

Types of Care

Our care is made up of three different types tailored to meet individual needs. Whether it's residential care for a supportive community, dementia care for specialised attention, or respite care for short-term support, our team provides the highest level of care and comfort. Our Residential care is crafted to meet the distinct needs of the elderly, providing support with everyday tasks. Tailored to each resident’s preferences and health requirements, our care plans provide a harmonious blend of attention and freedom. Dementia care is an area of special expertise at Danforth Care Homes. Our staff are highly skilled professionals, committed to creating a soothing and secure environment for residents. This allows us to provide exceptional support to both our residents and their families in Derbyshire. Our respite care option allows short-term stays for those recovering from surgery or illness, or for elderly people who might not want or need to move in permanently. These temporary stays offer a chance to experience our top-notch facilities, receiving the same attentive care as our full-time residents.
