Long stay
From 4 weekly
Residential care
Long term care for people who can no longer manage safely at home but do not need full nursing support. Residents have their own single room and get help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and the ordinary business of the day, with as much independence as they want to keep.
Costs are assessed before admission and usually cover accommodation, laundry, meals, heating and utilities, payable four weekly.
24 hour nursing
From 4 weekly
Nursing care
Support for residents living with a long term illness, recovering from one, or needing clinical care that cannot be given at home. A registered nurse is on duty 24 hours a day.
Nurses develop, monitor and review a personal care plan for every resident, working alongside GPs, district nurses and specialists.
Fees depend on the level of nursing required and are agreed after a full assessment.
We are registered for up to 37 residents needing nursing, in 34 single rooms across two floors served by a passenger lift.
Long stay
From 4 weekly
Respite care
Short stays, planned in advance or arranged in an emergency, for someone who normally lives at home. It gives family carers a genuine break and gives the person staying a proper look at life here.
Short stay
From 4 weekly
Day care
Company, activities, a hot meal and a change of scene during the day, for people who still live independently at home. We can support up to five day care guests at a time.
Guests join the full activities programme. Bath and shower services can be arranged with at least 24 hours notice. Meals cater for specific dietary needs, with help at mealtimes if it is needed.
Long stay
By arrangement
Palliative care
Calm, dignified support at the end of life, delivered with the district nursing team and the family. We can care for up to six residents under 65 who need palliative support, alongside older residents.
Comfort, pain management and privacy come first, and families are welcome at any hour.
Short stay
By arrangement
Activities and outings
Two activity coordinators plan a full programme every month. Live music, which draws the biggest crowd of anything we run, bingo, quizzes, board games, art, church services, history and reminiscence talks and armchair exercise.
We attend a local community group and organise regular excursions. Everything is planned with residents rather than at them, and suggestions are always welcome.
Short stay
By arrangement
Food and nutrition
Three meals a day, including a cooked two course lunch and a lighter option at teatime, prepared by our kitchen team with ingredients sourced locally where possible.
There is a choice at every meal and alternatives on request. We cater for specialist diets and favourite dishes, and the menu is reviewed regularly with the people who eat it. Residents eat wherever they are most comfortable, in the dining room, a lounge or their own room.
Short stay
Daily
Rooms and facilities
Thirty four single bedrooms over two floors, each with a nurse call point, a profiling bed, a television and a three piece furniture set. Some rooms have en suite toilet facilities and all are close to a bathroom.
Two lounges, a dining room and conservatory, a reading area with Wi-Fi and a computer, a tablet for video calls with family, an on site laundry and a private patio garden. Residents are encouraged to bring their own furnishings and mementos, and furniture from home where there is space.
Not sure which of these you need?
That is normal, and it is what the pre admission assessment is for. Call 01752 846 335 and we will talk it through honestly, including telling you if we are not the right home.
