Alderwood 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.

Wireless Internet access (WiFi)

Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling

Yes, our care home provides a telephone in all our resident’s rooms.

The home is able to provide all three levels of care; residential, nursing and dementia care. This means that their residents should never find themselves in a situation where they are unable to care for them should their needs change.

We have a selection of beautifully furnished and decorated bedrooms complete with an en-suite wetroom to support convenience and independence.

At the heart of the Outstanding rated care we provide at Alderwood in Colchester, Essex is our compassionate team formed of nurses, carers, managers, and team leaders and members of our wider support team such as catering, housekeeping, lifestyles and front of house.

Lead by our amazing home manager Nikki, all of our team members are carefully chosen for their values and unwavering dedication to caring for our residents with tenderness, kindness, and respect. We do not use agency staff, rather we nurture and invest in our stable team – ensuring they feel valued, happy, and love being part of our extended family.

We understand how important it is to involve family and friends in our residents’ lives.  Our elegant private dining room is the perfect place to host a dinner party or celebration with food and drink prepared by our in-house catering team.

Our residents’ ongoing health and wellbeing is extremely important to us and we recognise that keeping active, both mentally and physically, whilst maintaining a sense of purpose and meaning are key to individuals’ happiness, contentment and joy.

In partnership with our residents and those closest to them, our dedicated lifestyle team develops a varied programme of meaningful activities, events and celebrations which are personalised to individuals’ likes, dislikes, abilities and care needs as well as aspirations and dreams for the future.
