Our Cotswold Unit
Our Cotswold Unit provides specialist care for those living with Dementia and other severe memory problems. This care is delivered by highly trained staff who are passionate and respectful about the dignity and well-being of the people they support. We have a number of Dementia Link Workers who provide a wealth of specialist dementia knowledge, experience and expertise.
The activities within the Cotswold unit are tailored to those with memory problems and include ‘Singing for the Brain’ sessions, ‘Reminiscence’ sessions and ‘Life History’ work. Music and movement/poetry/dance sessions occur on a weekly basis facilitated by different entertainers, which are recognised therapies using movement. We also have Pets as Therapy dogs who visit regularly.
The homely environment throughout Horsfall House, is designed to make those living with us feel comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. It is widely acknowledged that strong colours such as red, yellow and orange can be more recognisable for some people with dementia and the furnishings, crockery, tableware, décor and bathroom facilities reflect this.
Our Gatcombe Unit
Our general nursing Gatcombe Unit provides care for the frail and elderly, Palliative and respite. Residents on the unit are encouraged to maintain a level of independence and personal choice where possible with staff providing the highest quality of care whilst remaining sensitive to individuals needs and abilities.
The Gatcombe Unit has an extensive and varied schedule of activities throughout the week including arts & craft sessions, gardening, baking, musical sessions and a gentle exercise programme.
As well as activities within the home, residents regularly enjoy the garden, which feature sensory areas and fragrant planting, and planned trips.
