DESCRIPTION

Welcome to The Heights Care Home, our modern purpose built Home set in beautiful Derbyshire countryside where we provide a high standard of care 24 hours a day. Our Residents have varying needs from specialist support and help with everyday living to those who just need a helping hand to retain some independence. Some stay with us on a permanent basis whilst others stay for short periods of time.

We offer Residential and Nursing care as well as specialist care for those with Dementia. We provide Respite care to give home carers a much needed break and End of Life care at a time when Residents and their families need specialist help and support.

Many of our private bedrooms have en-suite facilities and all are decorated to a high standard.

Our Residents can pursue their hobbies in our communal and quiet lounges and enjoy the tranquillity of our mature landscaped gardens with a barbecue area, fish pond and patio. We even have a greenhouse where Residents enjoy growing plants and vegetables. These areas are used for relaxing, socialising and are great places to invite friends and families when they visit.

THE CARE

We pride ourselves on our range of activities to suit all tastes. Our Activities Co-ordinator meets every new resident to discuss their social interests. There’s always something going on from quizzes to baking and music therapy to arts and crafts.

We invite professional entertainers to visit regularly and we also love celebrating birthdays at The Heights Care Home.

We support the UK National Dementia Strategy which ensures that key life skills are maintained, building purpose and providing nurture for Residents with Dementia. We organise group and individual activities but in our experience it is the one-to-one sessions that our Residents find most calming and rewarding.

We have highly nutritious and varied menus and cater for all dietary and cultural needs. All of our food is prepared using fresh ingredients every day in our kitchens. Our dining rooms are warm and welcoming. The tables are laid with fresh flowers and linen and our menus are displayed to show the choices available. Snacks, fresh fruit and refreshments are provided 24 hours a day.

Residents can choose to have their meals in their own room or in our dining room depending on how they feel. We encourage friends and family to join us for meals or afternoon tea anytime.
