Crescent House is located in a picturesque setting in the heart of Abington in Northampton. The home is surrounded by manicured gardens which provide a peaceful retreat for the residents.

The 38 spacious rooms all benefit from en-suite shower rooms and most have their own individual outside space. Residents are welcome to personalise their own rooms if they wish.
The full-time activities coordinator plans a wide ranging timetable of activities every week. From baking to flower arranging; music and movement sessions to pamper afternoons - there are meaningful activities available for all residents tailored to their needs. Singers and entertainers come in several times a week and are always a hit. Care and activities are tailored to residents' individual religious and cultural beliefs.

My mother has been at the crescent for 8 months now. It was a massive upheaval for her to go into a residential home but with the help of staff and management she has settled in rather easily. Couldn't of wished for a better transition. My mother is not the easiest to please and even she's happy now.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and your trust in us. It is a pleasure to be able to support your mother, and we look forward to continuing to provide her with the highest standard of care and companionship.

My 95-year-old mum was very happy here, was settled and called it her home. Sadly, when her personal funding changed, we were informed she would need to move. We had no contract explaining what would happen when funding reduced and were unaware of the financial implications, including different room costs or possible top-up fees. We were informed by a brief phone call that she would be moving rooms, without a full explanation. This was extremely distressing. Our family attended all meetings requested and have records/minutes of all discussions. Concerns regarding lack of communication, funding information and the timing of decisions were recorded in mtgs with the local council. Another care home manager was able to assess my mum, in-person, without challenge as to whom she was. This point has been discussed and recorded through correspondence with the council.
We are, however, disappointed to read some of the concerns raised, as they do not reflect the facts as we understand them....
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the care, support, and value your mother received while living with us.While we respectfully disagree with these aspects of your review, we sincerely wish your mother and family all the very best for the future.
I have a lovely room with ensuite facilities. The staff here are very kind and assist me with all my needs.

I am very pleased with the care given so willingly to my husband. Always with a smile, wtih a nice feeling of calm. In this short time he has improved my expectations, both mentally & physically. What ever the plan it's working. I pop in when ever I can and even get a smile. He is eating your meals with pleasure and looks forward to meal time. To see his more relaxed self is for me wonderful. Thank you.

It has been a great help having a laundry at the home as I didn't have back up at home. The office staff helped me with any problems that arose. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped.
It was an absolute pleasure to look after you for the six weeks and help you back up onto your feet. I will pass on your gratitude to the staff who work very hard to help. We wish you all the luck in the world at home - Beckie

It is so reassuring to know that Mum is safe and well cared for at Cresent House.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are truly delighted to hear that your mum is happy and comfortable here with us and that you feel reassured about her care. Our team works hard to create a warm, safe, and supportive environment for all residents, and it means a great deal to know this is being felt by families too.
My mum has been in Crescent House for 14 months. She has always been happy there. The staff become like friends as her health has deteriorated the care she receives has adjusted with the ongoing situation. When I visit I feel comfortable myself within the environment there. Excellent all round.

My Mother has been here for a number of weeks now and I call it the Buckingham Palace of care homes. I hope mum can stay here for the rest of her days. There have been a couple of times when I've been disappointed by a couple of the staff but overall the staff are enthusiastic and professional.

I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of service and care received by my parents over the past three years at Crescent House Care Home. As an only child living abroad, I have to rely on the staff and management to look after Mum and Dad and I have total trust that they have been very well treated. Sadly, we lost Mum last July and everyone was magnificent in helping Dad and me through a very traumatic experience, especially as I wasn't able to get home to attend the funeral due to Covid. The love and care all staff show for Dad has made his loss bearable and I really do believe he is treated like one of the family. My wife and I often say how lucky we are to have found this home from home and I strongly recommend anyone looking for a care home to visit Crescent House to see for themselves what a lovely, caring place it is.

My mother could not be in a better care home. The staff are fun, caring, conscientious and professional people who look after her extremely well, they are always very quick to respond to the changes in her condition. The home is always very clean and the gardens are kept neat and tidy. More able residents seem to have lots of activities and the residents' garden is fantastic with miniature ponies who are very friendly.
My father has always been happy at Crescent House Care Home. The staff are very kind, approachable and helpful, and over the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, they have really been excellent. A major contact for me during this time was the activities coordinator who oversaw relatives’ visits...
