Kirk Lane Nursing Home

Safety Measures
Hand hygiene is crucial in stopping the spread of the virus, and each of our homes has had a hand washing station installed at the entrance, for everyone to use as they arrive at the home.

In addition to our normal cleaning regimes, we have introduced extra cleaning schedules for our housekeeping teams, using products that are effective against coronavirus.

Visiting Opportunities
To keep residents, staff and visitors safe, we encourage all visitors to take a lateral flow test before each visit, and to strictly follow the guidance on hand washing and wearing a mask whilst in the home. Whilst mask wearing is no longer necessary when visiting the resident in their room you should continue to wear a face covering when walking through the home or visiting in communal areas.

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 new building is now open and is situated in the heart of Livingston Village. Kirk Lane comes complete with the latest furnishings to enhance our resident’s enjoyment of the home. The new building offers residents a wide choice of fantastic rooms including standard, premium and deluxe options. Each room comes fully equipped with private TV, telephones, internet and a nurse call system along with a beautiful wet room ensuite.

The six suites within the home all have a lounge area, dining room with pantry and ten beautiful well equipped bedrooms. Residents are now able to choose between our standard sized rooms or larger premium and deluxe rooms offering enhanced finishes. Six of our deluxe rooms also feature delightful corner turrets allowing extra space and light. All of our bedrooms offer Nurse Call system, TV, Internet, and full wet floor shower room ensuites finished with Porcelanosa ceramic tiling, with under floor heating. Ten of our bedrooms also have their own patio doors opening onto the wonderful garden.

Events and activities are hugely enjoyed across the Randolph Hill Group and our dedicated team, full calendar and the availability of our own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high. We offer person-centred care here at Kirk Lane, so it’s all about tailoring our activity calendar to the needs and wants of our residents, whether that’s day trips in the local area, events in the home, or group hobbies and activities. We have something for everyone, whether they want to indulge in a life-long hobby with new friends or learn a completely new skill – it’s never too late to embrace something! We believe in focusing on what our residents can do, rather than what they can do, so our activities are not obligatory, but we do encourage all of our residents to take part for their mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Some residents benefit from visiting pets and they are also welcome as long as they are kept under control and do not disturb other residents.
