Hempstalls Hall Care Home

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe
We are confident that our care homes are now some of the very safest places to live and work.

All of our staff have been trained in additional and heightened cleansing protocols and hygiene regimes, and these are being supported by a leading sanitisation system as part of our comprehensive infection controls. Testing regimes will continue for staff, residents and visitors.

We have re-aligned the resident in-house services to meet social distance guidance from the Government, for areas such as lounges and dining rooms, and for visiting entertainers and hair dressers; we are working hard to restore these services within the ‘new normal’ circumstances as soon as we can, when lockdown rules allow.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Our lounges are light and open with large windows that look out over our garden and the locality. The enclosed rear garden is a perfect spot for capturing the sun and many residents enjoy sitting out on the benches when it’s warm.

Bedrooms are generously sized and all have walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs. We encourage residents to personalise their rooms as much as possible with their own bits and pieces. Having the familiar around them makes a new environment less strange. Some of our rooms have patio doors, which makes for a lovely aspect.

At Hempstalls Hall Care Home we know how important it is for our residents to have an active and stimulating lifestyle. Our dedicated activities team arrange and plan all the daily events, guided by what the residents would like. There’s an accent on music. For instance:

• Music hall shows with costumes
• Vera Lynn and Bob Hope songs
• Choir practice
• Serenades from singers

Take a look at our Facebook pages and see for yourself.

Non-dementia residents are free to come and go as they please, even if it is just a walk around the enclosed garden or to pop to the shops for a paper. We also arrange excursions to the local cinema and theatre for a bit of culture, as well as pub lunches and church services. Our qualified staff are very good at pampering sessions in our beauty parlour and hair salon, and they’re always up for a good old chat at the same time.

For the green fingered, there is a gardening club which is very involved in the planning and planting of the garden and raised beds. If not gardening, then you might find a game of badminton going on, or a spot of cheerleading, waving those pompoms. And if not playing games, then indulging in some home-made ice cream, or a nice cup of tea and a cake.

Hempstalls Hall Care Home is also active in the local community and the residents like to play their part by raising money for local charities and schools.
