Abbott House care home is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque market town of Oundle in East Northamptonshire, opposite the renowned public school and within walking distance of the town centre, which has a variety of small shops, public houses and restaurants/coffee shops.

We provide residential care for older people who are physically frail or suffering from dementia. 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. The new purpose built Abbott House replaces the original 1960’s home and consists of two ten bed units on the ground floor and two ten bed units on the first floor. All bedrooms are for single occupancy and have en-suite facilities. Each ten bed unit has a lounge, kitchenette and assisted bathroom and toilet facilities.

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.
