Stroud House

We've taken the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of residents by virus testing and offering enhanced training.

We have enhanced infection control policies and training in place

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.

Wireless Internet access (WiFi)

Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

The Care Organisation has not indicated availability

Telephone for external calling

Yes, our care home provides a telephone in all our resident’s rooms.

The communal areas include a large Lounge with the Dining Area. The Dining Area consists of separate tables where residents dine in small groups. There is also a dedicated Activities Lounge, both Lounges look out on to lawn and patio areas.

Our facilities include:

- Assisted baths
- Shower Room with level access
- Nursecall system in every room
- All bedrooms have Televisions and Telephone points
- Attractive,secure gardens and footpaths
- Anglican, Catholic and Methodist Churches nearby

There are 20 bedrooms with 14 ground floor rooms (many with en suite facilities) and is therefore particularly suitable for those who are frail or for residents with restricted mobility. On the ground floor there are separate assisted bathroom and walk-in shower rooms. All rooms are fully furnished and residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with personal items from home.

Both Downs House and Stroud House have Activity Co-Ordinators who work hard to ensure that residents enjoy themselves whatever their individual circumstances or challenges and to this end a range of varied activities are organised. They can also provide some one to one support for those unable to join in group activities. We aim to provide at least one activity every day.

Also popular are the regular outings, with visits to a wide variety of places of interest, theatre shows, historical sites, pub lunches, local attractions and much more. With our own minibuses, helpful carers and wheelchairs always on hand, it is possible for all residents to join in and enjoy the opportunities available.

We do not normally allow pets in the home, however, we understand that a pet may be the main companion of a new resident, therefore, at the discretion of the Manager we may allow a pet to join its owner in the home, provided the following conditions are met:

• There is not an existing resident with an allergy to the particular pet.
  
• The pet is fully house trained. The care staff will not be responsible for clearing up after the pet, emptying litter trays etc.
  
• The pet does not become aggressive or liable to harm another resident or member of staff in anyway.
  
• The pet will be subject to a one months' trial period to assess suitability.
