In addition to the high standards of hygiene and cleanliness already in place within our homes, Ideal Carehomes has successfully launched an initiative called ‘Ideal Fresh Living’. This renewed focus towards infection control is our direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

From the frequent sanitising of all surfaces to frequent deep cleans and the hiring of extra staff to manage cleanliness, Fresh Living instills in our residents and their relatives a sense of safety and protection against the risk of infection. Each Home Manager and Regional Director perform regular routine audits to ensure that our high standards of sanitation are met.

Our modern, purpose-built care homes provide the perfect environment to implement natural ventilation into daily life. Large social areas along with spacious bedrooms and en-suite facilities allow plenty of personal space for each resident. Please see our regular updates for more information about each care home.

The wellbeing of the residents is a priority and nothing is more important than keeping them in touch with family and friends in any way possible. The home are pleased to return to a more relaxed visitor structure in all of their homes as there will be no limit on the number of visitors that residents are able to welcome.

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.

Whether you want to spend the day relaxing, reminiscing or taking part in one of our varied activities, there is plenty to do to ensure you enjoy your day.  When you move to Thorn Springs, you join a vibrant new community of likeminded people where you can socialise with ease and build long-lasting friendships.

Maintaining physical activity has lots of benefits for the well-being and independence of residents and we encourage regular light exercise tailored to suit everyone, as well as more leisurely activities such as arts, model making and flower arranging.
