Aire View Care Home

We are confident that our care homes are now some of the very safest places to live and work.

All of our staff have been trained in additional and heightened cleansing protocols and hygiene regimes, and these are being supported by a leading sanitisation system as part of our comprehensive infection controls. Testing regimes will continue for staff, residents and visitors.

We have re-aligned the resident in-house services to meet social distance guidance from the Government, for areas such as lounges and dining rooms, and for visiting entertainers and hair dressers; we are working hard to restore these services within the ‘new normal’ circumstances as soon as we can, when lockdown rules allow.

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.

Everyone at Aire View is very sociable and enjoys a great sense of fun and togetherness. Our lounges and café are where you’ll find us joining in activities, mingling over cakes and coffee or perhaps even enjoying a pre-lunch aperitif. We also recognise that sometimes a bit of space is needed and our quiet rooms are always available for some relaxation or just catching up on the papers.

Our garden is the perfect spot to while away the summer months in the company of other residents and is often the scene of Keep Fit and other exercises. The gardening club sees to it that the borders are always looking in tip top condition.

We also take time to pamper ourselves in our very own hair salon and enjoy our popular afternoon film matinées in the cinema room.

Our bedrooms are generously sized and come with en-suite walk in showers, 3/4 beds and wall-mounted TVs. We encourage residents to make their rooms their own with keepsakes and mementos or a favourite bedspread perhaps and our housekeeping staff make sure rooms stay just the way residents prefer.

If you look at our Facebook pages you will see that there is quite a lot of singing and dancing going on. Some of it may be done in chairs, but it’s the spirit that counts! When the weather is fine, the keyboard gets taken out into the garden and we have the extra benefit of fresh air to fill our lungs. We like our fun, but it doesn’t happen by chance as we have full-time Activity Co-ordinators who see to it that there is always plenty going on in our retirement home to keep mind and body active and engaged. For instance:

• Wearing silly hats and glasses
• Enjoying the cut and thrust of dominoes or Ludo
• Parachute manoeuvring
• Brushing up football skills
• Pilates
• Gardening

We are very pleased to say that not only does our care home get officially recognised, but so does the garden, winning a Gold in the Residential Care Home category for Leeds in Bloom, Spring 2016. We certainly get the residents perfecting their gardening skills!

Our minibus takes us out and about too, to the local theatre, garden centre, the local Kirkstall pub for a Sunday pint, or a trip on the Leeds Canal. Members of the local community are also regular visitors to us, whether it’s local interest groups, schools or churches; we like to consider ourselves playing a role in local initiatives and events.
