The Gardens

Our beautiful enclosed terrace garden, reached from the conservatory, provides a pleasant and secure environment, where Residents are able to relax and enjoy being in the fresh air and watch the birds feeding. We have another enclosed patio outside the kitchen where we often sit. Refreshments are served out of doors when the weather permits. The rest of the gardens are laid to level lawns, with shrubs and a long herbaceous border. There is a ramp for disabled access.

Pets

We actively welcome pets, as long as they are well-behaved! We recognize how precious they are, and that being able to keep them provides a link to the home and the life that has been left behind. Barn Park is registered with the Cinnamon Trust as a pet-friendly home.

Visiting Services

Our hairdresser visits us every week for cutting, shampoos, sets and perms. Our qualified chiropodist visits us regularly. There are services held at the Home for those of our Residents who wish to take Communion. Newspapers and magazines can be ordered to be delivered on a daily basis.

Telephone

If a Resident wishes to make a telephone call, they may use our portable handset in the Quiet room if they need to be private. Telephone lines can be installed in Resident's rooms if they wish.

Medical Care

We are fortunate in that we have three excellent surgeries within a nine mile radius. If a new Resident has been living locally, he or she would of course stay with the same GP.

We enjoy a happy working relationship with the District Nurses who are always very helpful and supportive to us.

Valuables

There are facilities available for the safeguarding of valuables.

Our professional and dedicated Care Team are able to provide services individually tailored to the needs of each Resident. We can provide care and support for couples with different care requirements.
