Private Garden

Residents can enjoy the summer months spent outside with fellow residents and their loved ones, participate in exercise classes, and take in the natural beauty that surrounds the garden. Our lovely grounds include an expansive pond and water feature, and is a great space for anyone who likes to get some fresh air, read a book in the sun, or sit and admire the wildlife that visits us.

Our Sensory Room is a room in our home designed to enlighten the senses of those who may be living with conditions such as Dementia, Cerebral Palsy, Sensory Impairment, Visual Impairment or Hearing Impairment. The room consists of multicoloured lights in a dark room, special sounds and soft play objects. It can help to develop communication skills, improve focus and provide a calming effect on individuals.

A Secure & Private Outside Space

The garden at our care home is much more than just an outdoor space. It is a welcoming, fully accessible area that residents can enjoy all year round. With gently sloping ramps, evenly paved pathways, handrails, and secure fencing, every part of the garden has been carefully risk assessed to make it safe and comfortable for everyone. Shaded seating areas sit beneath large canopies, offering a relaxing spot to enjoy the fresh air in any season.

The garden itself is filled with vibrant colour, from the established rose beds to a peaceful fish pond that adds a touch of calm. There is a real home-from-home feeling throughout. A brand new “secret garden” is currently being developed, with raised planters to allow residents to get involved with planting and gardening at their own pace.

A Social Space Full of Life

Our garden is also a lively and engaging space where residents can socialise, celebrate, and enjoy regular entertainment. With four dedicated activity coordinators running activities seven days a week, there is always something going on to encourage everyone to get outdoors. From quizzes and karaoke to visits from local choirs, the garden is often filled with music, laughter, and conversation.

The garden bar adds an extra touch of fun, especially during the warmer months when we host BBQs, family get-togethers, and garden parties. It is a wonderful setting for residents to spend quality time with loved ones and create lasting memories. The space has become known for its vibrant atmosphere, established charm, and year-round colour, making it truly one of a kind.

Garden FAQs

Providing our residents with access to a garden gives them the opportunity to foster a connection with the outdoors, allowing them to partake in outdoor activities and enjoy the natural surroundings. This promotes mental and physical wellbeing, including stress and anxiety alleviation, elevated mood, enhanced cognitive function, improved cardiovascular health, and strengthened balance and muscle tone.

The garden offers a range of outdoor activities for our residents, including exercising, gardening, reading, and, weather permitting, the chance to dine with loved ones, participate in events, take part in outdoor arts and crafts, and enjoy live entertainment.
