Accommodation

Creating an inviting, safe and calm home-from-home environment is an important factor in enabling those living with dementia to live life to the fullest.

With just eight bedrooms and an emphasis on spacious, shared communal facilities, we encourage residents to live a normal life, interacting with others and participating in activities that will have been part of their daily lives before dementia.

Each bedroom has been individually decorated and features colour coded doors to aid recognition. Furniture has been carefully chosen to meet the needs of older people, enhancing comfort and confidence. Wardrobes include vision panels in order to aid a resident's memory when looking for personal belongings. Spacious, en-suite wet rooms feature tiling designed specifically to highlight key items such as the toilet. Sky TV and Wi-Fi are both available in the home.

At the centre of Griffiths House is a large and purposefully designed communal space which allows natural light to permeate the surroundings, leading to an enhanced sense of well-being. Residents can move freely around, but can be safely monitored by staff, depending on their individual needs.

Open space and an ambience of tranquillity are echoed in the exterior grounds where Griffiths House shares beautifully landscaped gardens with Katherine House. This safe and secure area allows residents to sit quietly and relax, observing the local wildlife and taking in the smells and sights of this tranquil setting.
