| Our Building and Facilities |

|
At Trafalgar Care Home we have worked hard to create a relaxed and homely environment for all our residents. Our two comfortable ground floor lounges and a dining rooms are perfect for chatting and joining in with activities. There is also a smaller, quieter lounge upstairs, which is great for when people come to visit or for some alone time. The lawned gardens at the front and the back of the property which give our residents and guests alike plenty of space to sit outside. When it is sunny in the summer, we put a gazebo up too. We love colour and nature in our garden. That is why we grow our own tomatoes and have included hanging baskets and birdfeeders in our outside spaces. |

Our 26 bedrooms at Trafalgar (including three double-sized rooms), are spread across the ground and first floors. Our first floor is fully accessible, by stairs or lift. Many of our bedrooms look out onto one of our lovely gardens. All our rooms have en-suites or washbasins in the room. The rooms without an en-suite have accessible shower rooms and bathrooms nearby. We encourage our residents to personalise their rooms with their own photos and furniture. This makes for a smooth moving-in process, with the resident feeling more comfortable in their new space from the start. It also gives our staff the chance to get to know each resident better, by asking questions about their likes, dislikes, hobbies, life experiences and relatives. We’re in the process of painting each bedroom’s front door a different colour, which makes it more recognisable and personal to each resident. |
