Rooms

The lifestyle of a care home starts with their room. Your loved one needs to feel comfortable, familiar and safe in their room so they can use it as a safe space to escape the world as and when they need to.

At Allenbrook, a range of room types and sizes are available, many having en-suite facilities.

Room features include:

• Furniture - bed, wardrobe, armchair
• Neutral decor to allow for customisation

A number of the rooms have period features, including original fireplaces, and many have views over the extensive grounds.

Allenbrook understands the move into a room can be a difficult transition, so we encourage all residents to personalise their space through:

• Changing the layout
• Hanging pictures on the walls
• Bring a chair or additional furniture
• Moving personal effects with them

Visit us to see the types of rooms we have available and how your loved one can personalise their space to create a home from home. Book your visit today by calling us on 01425 656589.

Facilities

The facilities create our home-from-home lifestyle in our care home.

Our facilities include:

• Beautifully landscaped gardens, with new paths making them wheelchair accessible
• Dining area
• Communal lounge
• Free Wi-Fi

All our facilities are maintained to the highest standards to ensure the best possible level of care. Your loved one is always welcome to find a cosy spot in any of our communal spaces to host visitors or simply enjoy the company of the other residents.

These spaces are also the hub of activities as our activities coordinator hosts armchair exercises, quizzes, arts and crafts and a range of other activities to keep them entertained.

Everyone can enjoy the garden through spring and summer, enjoying tea and cake in the sunshine and basking in the colourful explosion of flowers. This is the perfect setting for various social events, from summer barbecues and the annual Bonfire Night Fireworks display.

Dining

As one of life’s simple pleasures and an important part of our well-being, food is an essential part of our lifestyle at our care home.

All residents can enjoy excellent home-cooked cuisine and a sociable atmosphere in the elegant dining room. Alternatively, if they prefer, they can dine quietly in their own room.

Fresh quality ingredients are delivered on a regular basis to provide residents with deliciously appetising dishes, all prepared daily.

The staff understand how important diet is, and so, as you would expect, the menus are tailored to provide balanced, nutritious and wholesome cuisine. Allenbrook are happy to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements.

A selection of fresh fruits, snacks and beverages are always available for residents and their guests to enjoy throughout the day - a small but welcome addition to creating an enjoyable lifestyle within our home.

Activities

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but keeping the mind, body and soul active is a great recipe for longer living and happiness! We prioritise a varied and engaging activities programme as part of our lifestyle in our home.

Tailoring a broad range of activities to your loved one helps to achieve their individual objectives, such as strength, balance and flexibility, while encouraging socialisation and stimulation.

Allenbrook has an activities team that organises daily group sessions, events and entertainment. The staff also take part in organising cinema nights, music sessions and sing-a-longs.

In addition, trips and days out are regularly organised with staff and families.
