Emmaus House is a 26-bed residential care home in Whitehaven, Cumbria. We offer residential care for older people, including for those who are living with dementia.
It is important to us that those who live with us lead fulfilled lives through the excellent care and services we provide. Therefore, before someone comes to live with us, we meet with them to complete a full and comprehensive care needs assessment to identify what the individual care needs, interests and choices are, and to ensure we are able to meet them.
Whilst our homes have a Christian ethos, this is not an admission criteria.
