Good to know
Yes, but we do encourage people to walk with staff some of the distance if possible to promote and encourage their independence.
We ask families to escort Residents to appointments where possible but are able to provide a staff member if necessary but this service is chargeable.
If a Resident’s GP is based at Appletree Medical Practice or Arthur Medical Centre, yes they can. Otherwise, we will need to transfer a Resident over to Appletree Medical Practice.
Yes, we do. We refer Residents to the District Nurse if they need to see them.
Not to live in. Dogs can come to visit but we do conduct visit a risk assessment before allowing dogs into the Home.
We have fish in a tank in our Walk Through Lounge, an Avery on the patio in the garden and fish in our garden ponds. Our activities programme also includes visits from small animals/creatures handlers -for example: Nesta’s Ark – and we watched chrysalis grow into butterflies within the home in 2020.
Absolutely yes and this is noted on their Care Plan so staff are aware of individual’s preferences.
We ask families to provide toiletries but if requested, we can provide them and add the cost onto the Resident’s account.
