Facilities

Communal Areas

Our three airy lounges have large windows with splendid views of the gardens and are attractive rooms where residents can socialise with each other. There is access to a large patio area at the front of the building where the residents often sit outside enjoying the sunshine and grounds.

Mealtimes

There is a pleasant dining room which is bright and spacious where main meals are served.

We have two experienced cooks who take pride in the quality of meals served, dependent upon individual nutritional needs and personal preferences. Wherever possible we use locally produced fresh meats, fruit and vegetables. We believe a good balanced diet is fundamental to good health.

Breakfast is served from 7.30 am on wards and ranges from a choice of cereals, porridge, yogurt, fresh fruit or any combination of cooked breakfast inc a full English Breakfast.
Lunch is served from 12.30 with an option of two hearty home cooked meals and a full roast dinner is available on a Sunday.
Tea is served from 4.45 pm which consists of daily home made soups and a buffet style tea with an extra hot option

The drinks trolley goes round regularly throughout the day with a selection of hot and cold drinks and we have our own mini bar for those who like to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. Extra snacks and fresh fruit are always available.

All of our staff are well trained in helping those with Dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) and all variations of food and fluids can be met using the IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative) framework. This framework is used across the world and enables us to safely help improve the life of those living with Dysphagia.

Bedrooms

We have 27 single rooms, 4 en-suite rooms and 5 large double rooms.

Bedrooms are situated on both the ground and first floor and are accessed by lifts at either end of the home.

Each room has a call system to request a carer for assistance. We encourage residents to bring treasured possessions from home to make their room as homely and familiar as possible. Rooms are individually decorated, with coordinated bedding and furnishings. All rooms have a TV point and some have a telephone point.

We supply towels and bedding and have our own Laundry in house.

Bathrooms

We have a shower/wet room located on the first floor and 2 bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, with specially designed equipment for all residents to use.

Separate toilet facilities are located around the home.

We encourage our residents to take part in the range of recreational activities we have on offer, even if it is simply enjoying a chat with a fellow resident over afternoon tea, a domino match with a beer or a glass of wine over dinner with their family and friends.

We have developed close relationship with the local church - All Saints in Risley. We have regular visits from the lay minister who provides pastoral support or just a friendly face for our residents. We can accommodate church services for those that wish to attend.
