If you choose to live at Prince Edward Duke of Kent Court, you can benefit from:

• The Home’s beautiful surrounding grounds which feature a golf course and woodlands; you can also take a ride through the grounds on the Home’s golf buggy. There are several patios, a gazebo, a walled garden and an inner courtyard where you can sit and enjoy the smell of the flowers.  Residents can enjoy a drink and a game of pool or cards in our very own bar, a film on our large cinema screen and  access to the golf course and its facilities.

• The Dementia Support House has its own garden, dementia friendly signage and tablets to support communication; you can also enjoy a tour of the grounds on the Home’s dementia bike.

• Regular on-site activities include Fred’s Academy (Amateur Dramatics), a monthly playgroup with the local pre-school, Beavers’ meeting, singing and entertainment, and looking after the Home’s resident cats, budgies, rabbits and guinea pigs.

• Access to external activities and services using the Home’s minibus including day trips to Stisted Village and nearby shops and other beautiful places of interest.

In our Dementia Support House, we can care for up to 20 people with four carers on duty during the day and a Shift Leader.

During the night, the Home is supported by a Shift Leader and seven staff, who have the same level of training and induction as our day teams. 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.

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 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. Staffing levels may be adjusted in different areas of the Home to support the level of care required by residents at any particular point in time.
