We’ll provide you with full details of the home, along with any other information you’d like such as sample menus and activity schedules.

Taking a tour

Whether you’re looking to stay with us permanently, or for a short break, we’re delighted that we can now invite you to take a show round of the home in person, subject to testing and safety guidelines. Simply book a tour with the home manager once you’ve made your enquiry.

We can also provide a virtual show round if you’d prefer. Either way, we’re keen to show you what daily life is like here and for you to meet our friendly team.

If you decide following your visit that you or your loved one would like to move into the home we’ll organise an assessment either face to face – with PPE and socially distanced – or conducted virtually to make sure we can meet all of your care needs.

Ensuring residents’ safety and wellbeing is our absolute priority.

Before move-in we'll put together a comprehensive settling-in programme designed entirely around you or your loved ones needs. This provides a dedicated package of one-to-one activities and support that maintains everyone’s safety while settling into the home.

We’ll use this time to get to know each other and, most importantly, ensure there are plenty of opportunities to maintain regular contact with family and friends – either through face-to-face visits (see Visiting your loved-one section) or using the latest video call technology. 

The home manager will discuss every area of moving-in with you in detail to make sure you and your loved one know exactly what to expect and feel confident and welcomed when they come to live with us

We understand how important visits are for everyone and are pleased that government guidelines have been eased again to allow residents to nominate up to two named people (increasing to five from Monday 17 May) who will be able to visit regularly, supported by testing, including during the settling-in period.

We’re delighted that people living in our homes are able to have more regular, sustained and meaningful contact with loved ones. 

In addition, our homes continue to offer visits to other friends or family members with arrangements such as inside visiting spaces with a screen and outdoor or window visits. We will always permit visits in exceptional circumstances. We’ve also invested significantly in technology – such as Skype and FaceTime– so you can stay in regular touch. 

Of course, visiting remains subject to changes in government guidance and lockdown restrictions.

Each of our homes is different and you’ll have the opportunity to speak directly to the Manager of the care home you’re interested in.
 

Our homes were among the first in the country to take part in the government’s care home testing programme in July 2020 – and we’ve been regularly testing colleagues and residents since.

• All care home colleagues are routinely tested twice every week.
• All residents are tested on admission to the home and then routinely. 

With residents’ safety and wellbeing our absolute priority, we want to assure you that we’re doing everything possible to prevent coronavirus entering our homes.

Vaccinations have been offered to all residents and colleagues. 

Where required, all new residents are prioritised for a vaccination on move-in.

We are well equipped and have good stocks of high-quality personal protective equipment (PPE) which complies with government requirements.

Our in-house team are highly trained and experienced in ensuring a clean and safe environment and committed to protecting everyone living and working in our home through the consistent use of infection control measures. These measures include regular hand washing, social distancing, putting on clean uniforms upon arrival and the proper use of appropriate PPE.

As members of the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), we take cleaning and cleanliness extremely seriously. We use the highest-quality products and are following an enhanced programme of cleaning.

During this difficult time, we’re keeping life as normal as possible so residents feel safe, secure, and happy. Which means your loved one can expect great fresh food, a wealth of activities and friendly company.

Residents continue to enjoy delicious, freshly-made meals every day, with a choice of menu daily, prepared by our expert catering teams.

Our creative activity programmes, developed by our in-house team of wellness coordinators, aims to keep residents as active and healthy as possible, should they wish to take part, ranging from person-centred activities to home-wide events.
