About Laxton Hall

Laxton Hall is a residential care home in North Northamptonshire, providing accommodation for older people, including those living with dementia, within a Polish cultural setting. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Laxton Hall accommodates up to 30 older people and people living with dementia, with 27 residents at the time of inspection. The home specifically serves older Polish people, providing a distinctive culturally-focused environment. Set in a converted 17th-century Grade II-listed building situated between Laxton and Corby in Northamptonshire, the home is nestled within 97 acres of land and gardens, maintaining the original architecture's integrity.

The service is staffed by the Polish Sisters of Mary Immaculate and Polish care staff, creating a community that addresses the religious, cultural and physical needs of residents. People are supported to live within a Polish community environment where their culture, religion and traditions are actively maintained and celebrated as part of their daily care.
