Aran Court Care Home

Avery Healthcare has always made the health and safety of our residents and staff a priority, and the Covid-19 pandemic has required us to raise our exacting standards to even higher levels. That is why we are taking the innovative step to introduce a cleaning system into our care homes that is already proven to kill 99.9% of viruses, including MRSA, e-Coli, norovirus and the SARS virus (which is similar to Cov-2, which causes Covid-19).

Avery is now leading in the care sector with the testing of an established cleaning system that refreshes and sanitises a bedroom in less than an hour, with a larger capacity variant addressing communal areas. Keeping both areas clean in this way will be an effective method in how Avery care homes manage their environments, to keep them as virus and bacteria-free as possible.

All Avery homes are now equipped with Topaz Machines ready for when we can allow visiting into the homes. The system hosts two units, one larger which dispenses hand sanitiser to visitors upon arrival and exit; it also provides an important messaging display screen to advise visitors of the latest news, and the other, a smaller screen, which operates as a thermal checker so that we can support temperature checks of those entering the building. Yet another fantastic piece of technology that provides relatives with safer, more efficient visits with their loved ones.


As we’ve learned during this pandemic, we are all in this together. We want our residents, staff, and their respective families to know that when they are in an Avery care home, that it is one of the safest and cleanest places to be. We also want relatives to be confident that their loved ones are being cared for in the best possible way, and for anyone in the position of placing a loved one in to care, to have the peace of mind that an Avery home will be a clean and safe haven

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.

We are innovative in our approach to dementia care and are confident in our use of technology in this area. With iPads we can access websites that deal with past events and customs that act as triggers to the memory and as talking points. We build up pictures of our residents lives and

Our bright and spacious lounges and dining areas are as welcoming and as social spaces as we can make them. We encourage residents to take part in regular activities, such as armchair keep fit and ball games, and to venture out on trips if they feel able. On the other hand, they can spend time in their own rooms, and eat there as well if preferred.

Our bedrooms are all single en-suite rooms and fully furnished with en-suite showers and electric profiling beds that have pressure-reducing mattresses. Residents can have as many of their personal things around them as will fit in, we find that new residents settle quickly at our care home.

Our friendly Activity Coordinators are dedicated to supporting each resident with plenty of engaging group and one-to-one activities, based on personal interests. We regularly welcome local groups and schools, as well as a range of lively entertainers to perform for us, but we also enjoy exploring local places of interest and keeping in touch with the surrounding community.

We use reminiscing as an effective way of connecting with those with memory loss. This can often trigger animated talk between the residents themselves. The Daily Sparkle reminiscence magazine is a good resource and can spark off a good old singsong or a trip down Memory Lane. We can arrange Skyping sessions for those who would like to keep in touch with people who are far away and cannot visit.

We are committed to ensuring our residents keep going in mind and body, are stimulated and active, whatever their ability level.
