About Crescent House
Crescent House provides residential, dementia and respite care for older people in a family-run care home. Its activities programme is shaped by suggestions from residents and families, then adapted to suit individual abilities, interests and circumstances.
A dedicated activity room includes a reminiscence wall featuring old Northampton. Residents can also take part in gardening, book groups and music activities, with outings available during the year. This gives residents opportunities to follow familiar interests, explore local memories and maintain a varied routine within the home, while families can see how activities are adapted around individual preferences.

Do they provide activities for residents who stay in their rooms?
Yes. Residents who cannot take part in activities outside their rooms receive regular one-to-one sessions, such as singing, reading, conversation or a manicure.
Can residents spend time with animals at the home?
Yes. Residents can make friends with the Shetland ponies living in the paddock during the summer months.
How much does Crescent House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Crescent House for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Northamptonshire council paid on average £1,086 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
