Electric
Buggy Store
Residents who own an electric buggy can park them in the store which also has
easily-accessed charging points. |

Parker Bath
Installed in 1999, the electrically-operated seat enables all residents to have access to
a bath. This is available in addition to their ensuite showers. |

Residents'
Lounge
This is a large combined area to give good space for functions, entertainment and
occasional meetings. A garden room is to be added to enhance the ambience and space
available. |

 |
Guest Room
This is fully furnished with en-suite facilities. It is used by all potential residents
during their trial week and for respite care. Residents' visitors may use it to stay if
they wish for which there is a modest charge. |

 |
Kitchenette
There is a kitchenette located on each floor housing a sink unit, fridge, microwave oven,
kettle and toaster, where residents prepare their breakfast.
During the day they can make drinks for themselves or their visitors. |

Personal
Alarms
Alarm pulls in bedrooms and showers and personal pendant alarms are all connected to the
house alert system when staff are on duty. When staff are not on duty the system is
switched through to Charnwood Borough "Lifeline". This gives residents the
opportunity to call for help 24 hours a day. We encourage residents to wear their pendant
at all times. |

Also:
Lift
The roomy lift makes all the house accessible to all residents, visitors and
services.
Accessibility
The house was built to a high standard with wide corridors, and handrails along
all stairs and corridors. Showers are self-draining. The only steps are on the fire
escape.
Laundry
Residents have an allotted time each week when a member of staff washes their laundry for
them separately from the rest. There are facilities within the laundry for residents to
hand-wash small items whenever they wish. A member of staff will, privately, do ironing
for residents who wish for that service.
