We strive to ensure that every resident feels valued and respected. Casterbridge Manor is a place where dignity, comfort, care and compassion lie at the very heart of all that we do. Our goal is to provide a safe and comforting home from home environment, with the added benefit of a highly trained and dedicated team of caregivers who are available 24 hours a day.
We are committed to providing the very best quality of life and an extremely high standard of living. Our care is personalised to the needs of every individual, from tailored meal plans and bedrooms, to high quality medical care and stimulating activities, all delivered within a safe, secure and homely environment.
Activities & Socialising
Our commitment to providing a warm and friendly, community focussed environment is evident in the facilities offered throughout Casterbridge Manor. We believe that meaningful social interaction and keeping an active mind are central to quality of life. As such, we offer all of the essentials you would expect in any community.
Our cafe, pub and a choice of lounges offer an opportunity to relax and socialise with friends and family, while the library, cinema room, activity rooms and specially built ‘street scene’ are ideal for stimulating memories and meeting our residents’ intellectual needs. The addition of a hairdressing salon ensures that our residents can maintain their sense of pride and dignity by meeting their grooming and beauty needs in a safe and comfortable environment.
Our dedicated Activity Coordinator works closely with our residents and the clinical team to offer a range of activities which are designed to stimulate body and mind, entertain and provide an opportunity to socialise.
While we aim to offer a range of new and stimulating activities, we also work with residents and their families to ensure that lifetime hobbies, likes and dislikes, birthdays and special events are catered for.
Personal choice, dignity and respect lie at the heart of all that we do and every individual is given the choice to join in when and if they wish to.
At Casterbridge Manor, community is very important to us – both within the care home environment and within our local surroundings. Wherever possible, we work with schools and local community groups to ensure that the home and our residents are very much a part of local community life.
