Gardens & Grounds
Brookside Care Home is set off the main road and has a small but beautiful landscaped private garden. Here, amongst colourful plants and flowers, residents along with family and friends can sit and enjoy the surroundings and even help to maintain if they enjoy gardening
Residents can also enjoy the comfort of our two recently built conservatories along with the main living room.
Fresh & Nutritious Meals
Our experienced and friendly chefs and their staff create and provide a wide range of balanced and nutritious meals. Home cooked food, prepared daily using only the freshest and local produce.
Special diet needs are catered for and all menus are nutritionally checked. Each resident, soon after their arrival, has the opportunity to discuss their preferences and any special requirements they may have. Residents can choose to eat in either of the two dining rooms or in their bedrooms if they prefer.
In the early evening a ‘Lite Bite’ menu is provided that includes fresh fruit, yoghurts, sandwiches and hot and cold beverages. We also serve biscuits and homemade cakes with mid morning tea and coffee. Fresh water is always provided and changed in resident’s rooms each day. view a sample menu
Social Activities & Entertainment
‘Variety is the spice of life’ and our Activity Co-ordinator always ensures that there are enjoyable and stimulating activities, entertainment, visits and events for residents, family and friends throughout the year. We encourage healthy bodies and minds- a ‘Positive Living’ approach, designed to improve appetite and humour, strength and energy as well as an opportunity for social interaction and the development of friendships with staff and other residents.
Activities and entertainment are both physically and mentally stimulating, but they also give residents something to look forward to and a structure to their day. From daily helping to tidy up, flower arranging and bingo to arts and crafts, beauty therapy sessions, hairdressing and chiropody are but a few. There are also visiting entertainers from musicians and singers to magicians and theatre. The home also includes a wide screen TV and music system.
We also organise visits and trips beyond the confines of the home, to the local towns for shopping, garden centres and village pubs for the occasional lunch. Friends & relatives are always free to join us on these trips.
