Bedrooms are designed using the same inclusive design principles as common areas and can be personalised for each resident through the inclusion of their chosen personal belongings. Bedrooms are spacious and private or semi-private, with private en suite bathrooms and TV. Nurse call buttons and other safety measures are standard throughout the Home both in private and communal spaces.
We believe mealtimes are the most important part of our day and that good food is the greatest pleasure in life. We take special care to ensure that our meals are both delicious and nutritious. Our menus include dishes to suit every taste, and all our meals are freshly prepared each day.
You can come and eat your meals in the dining room, which is a happy place with a warm, homely atmosphere. We serve breakfast, dinner and tea, and you can enjoy tasty snacks and drinks throughout the day. If you prefer, meals can be brought to you in your room.
Each Aperee Home has a variety of lounges and common areas, and can accommodate small, cosy gatherings as well as larger group activities such as personal or resident parties, performances, etc. Residents can choose the environment that suits their mood on any given day whether that is a need for personal quiet time, uninterrupted time with family or time with friends who share the Home with them.
All Aperee Homes feature a landscaped and user-friendly garden space designed with resident leisure and safety in mind. Gardens are planted seasonally, often with the assistance and advice of green-fingered residents who have an interest in being involved. Gardens feature outdoor seating, raised beds, and where the layout of the garden and resident safety facilites it, water features, green houses/polly tunnels and nature walks. Each garden has paved patio/seating areas where residents can sit in the warm sunshine shaded by our colourful umbrellas and hats. Special care is taken to protect our residents’ sensitive skin from the sun and sun glasses, sunscreen and other protection measures are the norm.
Our residents and care team work together to create a brilliant programme of activities which will keep you busy and fulfilled. We’re always changing our activities, so you’ll never get bored.
Aperee Chefs and catering staff are carefully selected for their passion for good quality, Home-cooked and interesting food.
