The Downes Residential Care Home offers the choice of both long and short term / respite stays. The safe and friendly environment encourages as much social interaction as the residents want and the extensive gardens and accommodation provide opportunities for a wide range of activities, supported and encouraged by our staff.
Our fees range from £500 to £1000 per week, dependant on an assessment of the individuals needs and the location of the bedroom facilities. Additional charges may be applicable for services including amongst others newspaper, hairdressing and chiropody.
Our bedrooms are all individual in character, with many rooms boasting original features. Each bedroom has en-suite facilities, a television and telephone point and 24 hour call bell system. Individuals can choose to bring in items of furniture to furnish their rooms or we can provide such items. We actively encourage service users to personalise their rooms.
There are several communal rooms of different sizes offering the scope for service users to enjoy space on their own or to mix easily with others.
Each of the communal areas is accessible by wheelchair and there is a stair lift in situ for access to four of our placements.
Our aim at The Downes is to meet the needs of our service users with appropriately skilled and trained staff, in a supportive and caring manner. Staff are in attendance 24 hours a day and are there to provide assistance in whatever shape or form.
