The Old School House

The Old School House is a care home catering for the needs of elderly ladies and gentleman, especially those who are suffering from dementia and mental health illness.

We provide 24 hour care within our warm and friendly care home. Our residents are cared for by a team of friendly, motivated and qualified staff.

We have been awarded the ‘Dementia Quality Mark’ for the past 4 years running. This recognises our sound approach to person centred and relationship centred care.

We have also signed up to the nationally recognised ‘Dementia Pledge‘ as we aspire to deliver a good quality care with knowledgeable management and committed and well trained staff.

If you would like to learn more about The Old School House, please contact Sue who will be happy to help you in anyway.

Our first priority is to deliver a standard of care that is second to none, whilst still maintaining a relaxed and homely environment.

Accommodation

We have 33 en-suite bedrooms. Three of these rooms are suitable for a couple should they wish to share.

There are two lounges, a conservatory, a separate dining room and central heating throughout. We also have wet rooms and a lift for our residents’ use. We do encourage our residents to make use of the communal rooms but also respect the right of the individual if they wish to remain in their own room.

Staying With Us

The Old School House is registered to care for Service users aged 60+, both male and female.

We are able to accommodate people that require short respite/holiday breaks, short term stays and long term stays.

Service Users interested in coming to The Old School House are encouraged to visit the home and sample the atmosphere and level of service.

Joining us for some entertainment or maybe some lunch can be arranged as can day-care on a regular weekly basis whilst waiting for a vacancy. This gives the client time to get to know the staff and to adjust to new people and surroundings.

Prior to admission, a comprehensive assessment will be carried out by a suitably qualified senior member of staff and/or management. This will ensure that the needs of the service user can be fully catered and provided for.

Here at The Old School House we use Care control. This enables our staff to create electronic personalised care plans for each Service User.

A handy ‘Welcome to The Old School House’ will be given to service users and their family/friends which details who’s who at The Old School House, activities and entertainment on offer and hopes to answer many of the queries and questions that you will no doubt have.

You are encouraged to personalise your room including personalised signs for your bedroom door and our handyman is always available to assist with this
