Accommodation

Applegarth Care Home has 20 comfortable bedrooms all with en-suite facilities.

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 with one overlooking the garden. The main lounge is where the activity sessions are generally hosted and the garden lounge for those who prefer a quieter space to read, chat or watch TV.

There is a bright and airy separate dining room where residents enjoy a variety of freshly home cooked food. Residents are encouraged 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 a delightful garden and a patio area with seating which residents and families enjoy throughout the warmer months. In addition, we employ handymen and gardeners as well as other professionals to keep the home safe and running smoothly for you.

Food at Applegarth

We are proud of the high quality of our meals that are carefully designed to be enjoyable whilst providing balanced nutrition to our residents. All of our meals are freshly prepared and cooked from scratch. The kitchen has been awarded 5 by the local Environmental Health Team, which is the highest level achievable.

Regularly rotating the menus to follow seasons ensures we always have meals which cater to our residents’ likes and dislikes, including those who require modified or specialist diets.

Activities at Applegarth

Our in-house activities coordinator Lindie provides stimulating and engaging activities for all our residents.

We appreciate that our residents have different interests, hobbies and capabilities and that’s why we create a fun and varied program to cater for everyone, whether that’s learning new skills or revisiting old pastimes.

We regularly engage in arts and crafts, quizzes and puzzles, visits to garden centres and welcome visiting musicians and entertainers, as well as local school children. We also welcome young volunteers who are looking to gain work experience.

We allow for quiet times where a one-to-one chat down memory lane may be what is required.
