We at Chestnut House have a large homely lounge area which is bright, airy and lends itself to giving a lot of space for people to mobilise freely.
Our smaller lounge area is a quieter environment where people can relax and read. We also provide a music lounge which plays music via our gramophone. All residents’ taste in music are catered for via our vast music collection.
Our themed corridors are user friendly with hand rails at each point to encourage independence at all times. Over the past year Chestnut House has undergone major refurbishment to its communal areas. This is to encourage conversation and visual stimulation. These themed areas consist of:
We have staff on duty twenty-four hours a day all year round who are trained and experienced. We also operate an out of hours emergency on call system.
We have a treatment room that is used by District Nurses seven days of the week.
We have a robust medication service to ensure that all individuals’ medicinal needs are catered for, along with a regular GP visits. Chestnut House works closely with relatives and health professional to ensure that mental and physical well-being is optimised.
We have a conservatory which doubles up as a relaxation room. This over looks and accesses our peaceful, user friendly and private garden area.
There is an on-site laundry service at Chestnut House where all personal clothing is washed, dried and pressed by our housekeepers and placed back in each person’s bedroom. All clothing and personal items are inventoried on a regular basis.
We have a passenger lift in place for people who reside on the first floor.
