ACCOMMODATION
Dovehaven House is a modern, purpose built 40-bed care home. All the fully furnished bedrooms are single rooms, 15 of which have en-suite facilities and more en-suite rooms are planned for development in the future. There are bath hoists in the main bathrooms and there are also shower facilities available. We encourage our residents to furnish their rooms in their own style and with their own belongings if they so wish to. The home is divided into 2 floors, with a lift linking both floors. There is a main lounge/dining area on each floor as well as a specialised recreational room on the ground floor, which is especially designed to give the impression of being a pub. On the first floor is a sensory room that has been professionally laid out in order to resemble the outdoors. The sensory room has a rather pleasing beach house theme. This facility boasts the latest in sensory equipment including; bubble lamps, fibre optics, projector simulators and soothing music, all of which enhance the tranquility of the experience for our residents.
Dovehaven House has two secure garden areas, firstly the courtyard, which has ample seating, a shrubbery and central water feature. The second garden area is towards the rear of the building and has an attractive countryside view that includes horses in the neighbouring field along with various forms of wildlife that are often seen. Both our outdoor areas provide pleasant, attractive surroundings to spend sunny afternoons.
