Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents.

Aliwal Manor has been specially designed to provide maximum comfort, convenience and stimulation for the people who live there. We have a hair salon, a variety of attractive lounges, a welcoming dining room and some lovely outdoor spaces for sitting and enjoying time with friends and family. People are encouraged to plan their own daily activities, as they would in their own homes, and dine in their chosen locations. To receive visitors, we have a quiet area as well as our landscaped gardens, where family and friends can be entertained whenever they visit. Light refreshments are always on offer for these occasions. We also offer enclosed gardens where pets are welcomed and for those ‘green-fingered’ amongst us, we have raised flower beds to enable individuals to tend to the gardens, should they wish to. |

Our bedrooms, some with en-suite wet rooms, are beautifully decorated and ready for people to add their own personal touches. Life can be confusing at the best of times, yet even more so when it involves moving away from home where special memories have been formed. For this reason, we encourage everyone to personalise and decorate their bedrooms with small items of furniture and treasured objects, to provide comfort and familiarity in their new surroundings. |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
We encourage individuals to join in the everyday activities of life, such as making a cup of tea, laying the dinner table or helping with flower arrangements. Everyone goes at their own pace, in their own way, with our support and companionship. To add a bit of spice to life, we arrange outings to places of interest and optional activities which are designed to engage the abilities and inclinations of people; some of the most popular activities include our movie experience, board games, quizzes and listening to their favourite music. Individuals decide for themselves just how much they wish to participate – some prefer the more sociable activities whilst others prefer to read a good book in a quiet spot, or relax in the gardens. The choice is entirely theirs. |
