Residents can benefit from:

• Wonderful grounds with a beautifully maintained garden, as well as a bar and a shop.
• The Dementia House includes a sensory garden and sensory room, Magic Table, memory boxes, tablets and laptops to support communication and engagement.
• We hold a dementia friendly café on the last Thursday of each month. The aim is to provide social gatherings for people living with dementia, families and professionals in the local area, where they all can share information and experiences as well as speak openly about this condition.
• A dedicated area for people living with early-stage dementia, which can support up to 9 residents. The area has its own comfortable lounge for residents to relax and enjoy.
• We host regular activities from handicrafts, exercise classes, sing-a-longs, to Zumba classes, pamper sessions and drinks’ mornings, visits from local schoolchildren, musicians, singers.
• Our minibus supports residents to stay connected with their communities, from trips to the beach and other areas of interest.

In our Dementia House, we have a designated Manager and we are able to provide care for up to 18 people.

There are six carers on duty during the day and three carers at night, supported by the Shift Leader. We support people of a varied age range and dementia.

Most of our care staff have achieved, or are working towards an NVQ/QCF in Health and Social Care.

One of our Deputy Managers is an experienced Clinical Lead Nurse who supports the team in providing safe and effective care to our residents. The other Deputy Manager is also an experienced Dementia Manager.

We have a 24-hour nurse call system installed in all our residents’ rooms. Some of the residents have a personal alarm to carry, so they can call for assistance if required.

To support our residents’ health and wellbeing, we have two dedicated Activities Coordinators who organise a variety of activities, community initiatives, as well as trips outside of the Home

Please note that the level of care each person receives will depend on their individual needs. This is continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure each person receives the right level of care. Staffing levels may be adjusted in different areas of the Home to support the level of care required by residents at any particular point in time.
