Offington Park Care Home

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

There are 23 rooms, with a very beautifully decorated lounge and a wonderful outdoor decking area where residents read, play scrabble and grow their own vegetables in summer months. The garden has been designed to stimulate the senses all year round.

Offington has an extremely loyal and long-standing staff group. Many of the team have been with Offington for over a decade. As a result, staff and residents know each other very well, and this helps make Offington a wonderful familial home. Our teams are made up of highly skilled staff, qualified nurses, mental health nurses, and carers. We work closely with local GPs who provide medical advice and support to our residents and staff.

Our chefs create delicious and varied daily menus using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Afternoon teas, celebratory dinners, homemade birthday cakes, monthly pizza nights, and the occasional fish and chip supper, all add to the pleasure of eating well together.
We encourage our residents to get involved in planning meals, baking and helping with laying the tables if they wish, and we welcome family members to join us for meals. For us, food really is at the heart of the home.

Sue has been chef at Offington for over 15 years, her favourite meals are cooking for special occasions like our monthly filet steak night. She was recently presented with a gift from all the residents after cooking a fantastic Christmas meal… which had her in sobs of tears.

Each Kindred Care home has a monthly calendar of events, activities and celebrations; gardening club, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, quizzes and trips out to the theatre, for walks and to areas of local interest. Family, friends and pets are invited to join in whenever possible. Each home is set in beautiful gardens and we help residents to get out to enjoy the changing seasons and fresh air.

We work with wellness experts Oomph (Our Organisation Makes People Happy) to train staff as ‘activity champions’ who deliver stimulating, fun, physical activities and new experiences for residents. We have regular visits from our much-loved hairdresser and chiropodist and our staff have specialist care training in exercises for the elderly as well as therapies such as massage.

Residents can bring their pets.
