All rooms have TV points, nurse call point and electrical sockets. A lift is provided for our wheelchair users.Within the building there are three units, one unit accommodates up to 25 residential clients and the other unit accommodates up to 26 nursing clients; all experiencing dementia type illnesses. The third unit accommodates 6 clients experiencing learning disabilities. We can cater for long or short stay placements, and can provide specialised diets and we actively encourage residents to personalise their rooms.
As Redworth House is a Dementia Home we have tried to assist with orientation and stimulation by having clear signage and memory boxes by bedroom doors, internal decoration which is colourful stimulating and interactive. Life History work is paramount to understanding an individual’s perspective and staff will work with residents and their family to explore this.
The residential dementia unit has a large T.V lounge where residents can enjoy watching T.V or videos etc, alternatively there is a quiet lounge or the conservatory both of which have direct access into the garden which residents can enjoy some quieter moments. Most of the residents enjoy our nutritious home-cooked food in our spacious and welcoming dining room which has direct access to the courtyard garden.
