DESCRIPTION

Our home is a modern purpose built Home across two buildings, where we provide a high standard of care 24 hours a day. Our Residents have varying needs from specialist Nursing support to general assistance with everyday living. 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 also 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 single and double 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. They watch television or perhaps listen to music or have some reading time. Our Residents also enjoy the tranquillity of our two sensory gardens and patio seating areas, which are particularly popular in the summer. All of these areas are used for relaxing, socialising and are great places to invite friends and families when they visit.

THE CARE

Our Activities programme is tailored to our Residents’ preferences and includes arts and crafts, quizzes and games. We organise regular trips to the local Rotary club, shopping trips to Mansfield and visits to the local ice cream factory.

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.

Mealtimes are an enjoyable and sociable part of the day. Each one of our dining areas has tables 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.
