If you choose to live at Barford Court, you can benefit from:

• Beautiful grounds which include our extensive courtyards, a pergola, summer house, fish pond and terraces, where you can sit and enjoy the smell of the flowers. The Jersey Pavilion within the Home also features a special mural representing life in Brighton and Hove.

• Our Dementia Support House has a sensory garden designed to stimulate all five senses. Our assistive technology includes the use of iPads and dementia friendly signage, SMART TV’s connected to Amazon, Netflix and YouTube, Virtual Reality and information screens to access and maintain community contacts via the Brighton and Hove Dementia in-reach team.

• Regular onsite activities such as arts and crafts classes, games and reminiscence activities. We also have cooking and baking sessions, indoor bowls and use of the day centre which is open to non-residents, offerng the chance to connect and make friends with those living outside the Home, a Lodge of Instruction (provided by our Association of Friends) and inter-generational activities with a local school.

• Access to external activities and services using the Home’s minibus such as day trips to the beach and other beautiful places of interest. Public transport is also available nearby with easy access to Brighton town centre.

In our Dementia Support House, we can care for up to 10 people with three carers on duty during the day and two carers at night.

Most of our care staff have achieved, or are working towards an NVQ/QCF in Health and Social Care.

We have a 24-hour nurse call system installed in all our residents’ rooms and each person has a personal alarm to carry, so they can call for assistance when they are around the Home.

We have a dedicated Activities Coordinator who organises a variety of activities as well as trips outside of the Home, to support our residents’ health and wellbeing. We also have fluent Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian and Spanish speakers.

Please note that the level of care each person receives will depend on their individual  needs. This is continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure each person receives the right level of care.
