Description:
Strawberry Fields Care Home
The aim of Strawberry Fields Care Home is to provide our Service Users with the highest possible standard of care. We specialise in delivering care for older people with personal care needs, and older people suffering from dementia, Alzheimer’s, memory loss and similar disorders.
We offer a homely, comfortable and happy environment where care is planned with the active involvement of our Service Users themselves, as well as their relatives, friends, medical professionals and others wherever appropriate.
The home offers residential care 24 hours a day and is registered with the Care Quality Commission to accommodate 45 male or female elderly or mentally infirm residents (over 65). The home and its immediate surrounding area is a strictly no-smoking environment. However, there are provisions for smokers to smoke outside and away from the main building.
The ethos of the home is to help our Service Users lead happy, dignified lives and to become and remain as self-reliant and independent as possible within a safe environment.
Day Services
Strawberry Fields Care Home also provides a respite day-care service. This is a great opportunity for relatives who are also full time carers to have a break during the day. Please contact the home for further information and our fees for this service.
Visiting
Our care home has an open visiting policy whereby residents are able to welcome visitors into their own rooms, into the communal areas or into the grounds as they wish at any time. The home openly encourages family and friends to visit their relatives and loved ones as often as possible.
The home is set in a semi-rural location and benefits from peaceful, quiet surroundings and a friendly community. The buildings are spacious and well maintained and offer a high quality environment with a good degree of privacy, spread over two floors.
Strawberry Fields Care Home Accommodation
The grounds are spacious and are fully accessible to residents to enjoy. It is our mission to offer our Service Users an excellent standard of living in comfortable, homely conditions and we make every effort to ensure a friendly, welcoming atmosphere in a home which is maintained in good order, comfortably furnished and attractively decorated.
Communal Areas
While the home provides a range of activities and facilities for people to join together, the home also respects the rights of individuals to have their ‘own space’, particularly when family and friends are visiting. To support this, we have a number of different communal areas including 3 television rooms and 2 ‘quieter’ rooms where residents can sit and chat or read or enjoy the garden views. We also have a conservatory, patio area and several ‘quiet spots’ in the garden.
The dining room is tastefully laid out to accommodate all of our residents plus guests and helpers.
In addition, the home has a games room, a conservatory and a small hair salon.
The home has disabled toilets by the entrance and another set close to the dining room and lounge. All of these have enough turning space for large, self-propelled wheelchairs and call facilities should a Service User require help.
