Living here

We want you to feel that the home is your own home, so we aim to provide the best possible nursing and social care in a relaxed and happy atmosphere where you can exercise choice about how you live.

We recognise that everyone has different wishes and needs so we write an individual care plan for each resident. As well as setting down any nursing and social care you need to help with the different activities of living, it includes your preferences about your daily life. We appreciate help and information from both residents and their families when planning care. These care plans are regularly reviewed so that if your needs change, you will continue to receive appropriate care.

We are very fortunate with our local doctors practice in Silloth, and a clinic is held in the home every Tuesday. Residents are welcome to retain their own GP if wished. Doctors can also be contacted at any time in emergencies.

Mealtimes – you may choose to take your meals in the dining room with other residents or in your own room. We can provide special diets when necessary and of course accommodate any likes and dislikes. A sample menu is available here.

 Our activity programme is varied and residents may choose the activities which interest them. We also welcome suggestions for different things to try.
