Hayward Care Centre

The purpose-built home environment has been specifically designed to support the needs of older people including those with dementia, from aiding memory in day-to-day living and reminiscence therapy, to reinforcing personal identity and navigating around the home.

The home has been designed in smaller, households, to help maintain independence and dignity. All of the spacious furnished bedrooms have en suite facilities, with "wet room" bathrooms. We encourage the personalisation of residents’ bedrooms, with treasured belongings, pictures and memories.

Residents can enjoy the privacy of their own room or socialise with family and friends in one of the open plan living areas or smaller comfortable lounges on all three floors of the home. We even have our own pub bar decorated by local brewery, Wadworth.

Residents can enjoy the daily social activities going on in the central communal areas with the hairdressing salon open during the week. The resident’s pub, decorated by our local brewery is a perfect space for meeting friends and family or in good weather, residents regularly take advantage of the beautiful and accessible landscaped gardens, with seating areas and raised planters.

Each room is furnished with a single bed with bedding included, wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk, armchair, bedside table, carpet, and curtains.

Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.

Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Hayward Care Centre. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.

Here is a sample of activities on offer:

• Trips to garden centres, cafés, pubs, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums.
• Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
• Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
• Board game competitions and quizzes
• Music therapy sessions
• Gardening
• Arts and crafts
• Communal Church services

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.

Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.
