Lancum House is a purpose built residential care home providing care for older people including people with dementia. It is situated in Wellingborough, Northants. The single story facility offers single en suite rooms, divided into small family sized wings. Each wing has its own lounge dining area, with kitchenette, together with assisted bathroom and toilet facilities. The care of the individual is our highest priority and our residents’ privacy and dignity is at the very heart of our philosophy. Our fully qualified and dedicated members of care staff provide the very highest standard of care to our residents 24 hours a day, Lancum House has a wide internal ‘street’, where there are various facilities including a shop and a hairdresser salon. The home is surrounded by pleasant gardens and is situated in a residential area close to the town centre and other local amenities.

Moving into residential or nursing care can be a difficult decision but is often necessary for older people who can no longer manage on their own or with the help of relatives, friends or other carers. But in Shaw care homes our friendly professional staff are trained to make the transition hassle free and ensure that independence and the key components of daily living are maintained as much as possible. We aim to provide you with choices - over your personal care, what and when you eat, whether you want some peace and quiet or to join in a range of social activities. All this is provided in homely and comfortable surroundings - and with your own private bedroom. There are two types of care home, those which provide personal care only and those which also provide nursing care. All homes provide meals, laundry service and personal care such as help with washing, dressing, general mobility and day-to-day tasks. Nursing homes provide all of these services but additionally they employ registered, trained nurses who are able to provide health-related care. Government assistance with the cost of this nursing care is available to everyone and is not means-tested.
