About Us

CATERING
We serve a cooked breakfast every day and there are at least two choices of main course at lunch time. Our meat and vegetables are sourced locally, baking is done daily and our Head Cook Pat is able to cater for all tastes and needs. Our food is cooked and prepared fresh each day, and the menus are varied and interesting. (Click here for sample menus)

Meal times are generally the same each day but people may choose when and where they want to eat.
Breakfast         8.00am – 10.30am
Lunch               12.45pm
Tea                    5.00pm

Drinks and snacks are served throughout the day although people may have drinks and snacks when they want. It is not uncommon for our night staff to prepare some cheese on toast for a resident.

ENVIRONMENT
There are 25 rooms some of which are en suite. We are gradually upgrading all the rooms to include en suites. The resident’s bedrooms are their space, it is entirely up to the individual how they wish to decorate or furnish the room. Staff may only enter bedrooms with permission from the resident. All rooms have television aerial points and many residents have their own telephones.

We have three lounges one of which has a small dining area where people can entertain their guests in private if they wish. Our large dining room is next to the kitchen and is usually where we have all our parties and entertainment.
The two larger lounges are used constantly by the residents and visitors and are always a hive of activity.

There is a vertical lift to access the first floor of the old part of the house and a stair lift to take people to three bedrooms in the more modern extension.

The garden is large and we have many areas where people can sit and relax. In 2009 we created a small allotment area and we enjoy the produce from this area throughout the summer months. This is accessible and residents can tend the raised vegetable and salad beds if they wish. Otherwise there is a seating area here where they can check on our full time gardener Martyn!

HEALTH
Many of our residents are from the local area and remain with their GP at Radcliffe Health Centre. Residents moving from other areas can be registered with the local Health Centre or, if their own GP agrees, remain with them. We receive an excellent service from the GP’s and the District Nurses.

The home has a newly refurbished hairdressing room and our hairdresser is with us every Thursday. However, some residents have their own hairdresser come to the home and some still go in to the village to have their hair done.
