DESCRIPTION

Our home is a charming, specially converted, period Home 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 care as well as specialist care for those with Dementia. We also offer Respite care to give home carers a much needed break.

Our Residents can pursue their hobbies in our communal and quiet lounges. They watch television , perhaps listen to music or have some reading time. They also enjoy our large lawned garden with mature trees and a patio seating area which is 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

Thanks to our dedicated Activities Co-ordinator we have a full and varied activities calendar with events planned throughout the year. We often have professional entertainers to perform for our Residents and we organise regular trips to local places of interest including the library, park and the museum.

We arrange special meal nights when we invite relatives and friends to come along.

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.
