We encourage our residents to furnish their own rooms as they wish. This could be as simple as hanging a couple of their favourite pictures on the wall, but they’re also welcome to bring their own comfy chair, or anything that makes them feel at home. The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled. All our bedrooms have an en suite toilet and sink, fitted wardrobes and lockable cabinets. If your loved one enjoys catching up with the latest news, sport, chat shows or soaps we can provide a TV in their room on request, and there’s WiFi throughout the home. We have a call system which can be operated by a hand control or a pendant depending on personal preference. All floors are secured by keypad coding to ensure that residents are safe and secure at all times |

Our approach to care is a truly holistic one, always with the aim of nurturing your loved one’s mind, body and spirit. This comes as part of our promise to you and our residents, to help them to genuinely live a better, more fulfilled life. It’s about respecting their individual needs, listening and understanding, presenting them with opportunities and daily activities to keep their minds and bodies active. Whether they flourish in a lively group activity or prefer to re-charge in the peaceful surroundings of one of our quiet spaces, our home is brimming with inspiration and potential. We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Coordinators love keeping residents active and entertained. They provide a fun-packed and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose. There’s baking, flower arranging, art and crafts, bingo, quizzes and church services, just to mention a few of the things we get up to. Music Therapy: At Lauriston, our music therapists interact with residents through sing-alongs, playing simple percussion instruments and responding to musical cues in either a one-to-one or group setting. These sessions often prove to be truly lifeenhancing, helping people to unlock special memories and express their feelings and emotions. |
