Hickathrift House

Hickathrift House sits within Barchester Healthcare’s care-home service, offering a setting for residents who may need residential, dementia or respite care. Barchester describes support built around independence, personal preferences and 24-hour assistance, with care types selected according to individual needs rather than a single standard pathway.

Food is a practical part of daily life. Locally sourced meat and vegetables are freshly prepared and cooked on the premises on the day, while menus can include seasonal meals and modified textures. Residents and families can contribute to food choices through regular meetings. The wider setting also includes activities and social spaces, making locally sourced meat and vegetables a concrete feature for families considering everyday hospitality as part of care.
