Life With Us
What can I expect
We fully appreciate the feelings of relatives who are relinquishing care of their loved ones to us at a difficult time. Consequently we do our best to support relatives both during and after the stay of the resident. Visitors are always welcome, but are asked to respect meal times between 12 noon and 1 pm, and the Home’s no-smoking policy. We ask all visitors to sign the ‘Visitors Book’ in the hall on arrival and departure as a precaution in case of fire.
Facilities
We have an activities co-ordinator to help keep all residents active in mind and body. Where appropriate we take the more agile residents out in the mini-bus, which is also used for individual visits to the hospital, dentists etc. In-house entertainment includes parties, barbecues; sing songs, carols, and much more. We provide full laundry facilities, and the mobile phone links reside.
Catering
Residents are encouraged to eat in the dining room but can stay in their rooms if they prefer. There is a choice of home cooked meals and specialized needs are catered for. Should a resident want a light snack outside formal meal times this is provided for at any time.
Shared Facilities
As might be expected, there are handrails and wheelchair access where necessary, as well as a lift to the first floor. We have three assisted baths on the two floors. The lounge has colour television, video, audio equipment, and various other forms of entertainment. During the warmer weather residents can enjoy sitting outside on the patio.
