Our Cotswold Unit
Our Cotswold Unit provides specialist care for people 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.
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. Recognised therapies, such as, music, movement, poetry and dance sessions occur on a weekly basis facilitated by different activity leads. We also have Pets as Therapy dogs who regularly visit our residents.
The homely environment throughout Horsfall House, is designed to make those living with us feel comfortable and familiar. 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 compassionate 24-hour general nursing care for older people, including those who are frail, require palliative care, or are staying with us for respite support.
Life on Gatcombe is vibrant and engaging, with a varied programme of activities designed to promote wellbeing, enjoyment and social connection. Residents can take part in arts and crafts, gardening, baking, music sessions and gentle exercise, with opportunities to explore new interests and continue favourite hobbies.
Beyond the unit, residents are encouraged to enjoy our beautiful grounds, which include sensory areas and fragrant planting designed to stimulate the senses and provide peaceful spaces to relax. Outings and planned trips also offer opportunities to stay connected with the local community and enjoy new experiences.
