Accommodation
Wild Acres Care Home has 26 comfortable bedrooms. En-suite facilities are available in 13 of the bedrooms.
The remaining 13 bedrooms all have washbasins and a nearby bathroom. All bedrooms are furnished with a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and a chair. Nurse call bell systems are in place in every room.
There are two communal lounges in the home. One is a large lounge for those who enjoy sitting and chatting or watching television, the conservatory lounge is for those who prefer quiet recreation and reading.
There is a separate dining room where we encourage all residents to have their meals together and use this opportunity for socializing but those who prefer having their meals in their rooms are given the choice to do so.
The home has delightfully landscaped gardens and a large patio area with seating which residents and families enjoy throughout the warmer months. A separate room is allocated for hairdressing and Occupational therapy sessions. In addition, we employ handymen and gardeners as well as other professionals to keep the home safe and running smoothly for you.
The environment
The physical environment of the home is designed for residents’ convenience and comfort. In particular, we will do the following:
- Maintain the buildings and grounds in a safe condition.
- Make detailed arrangements for the communal areas of the home to be safe and comfortable.
- Supply toilet, washing and bathing facilities suitable for the residents for whom we care.
- Arrange for specialist equipment to be available to maximise residents’ independence.
- Provide individual accommodation which at least meets the National Minimum Standards.
- See that residents have safe, comfortable bedrooms, with their own possessions around them.
- Ensure that the premises are kept clean, hygienic and free from unpleasant odours, with systems in place to control the spread of infection.
