The Gables Care Home

We've taken the appropriate measures to ensure the safety of residents.

For instance

• We have antiviral antibacterial environmental spraying of our homes to ensure all surfaces are protected for up to 30 days.
• We have issued temperature checks in all entryways as well as sign in Ipads for feedback purposes, which go straight to the home manager.

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.

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 Gables Care Home is situated in the charming market town of Chatteris. The Gables provides person-centred care for up to 49 elderly residents, and has been rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission in our latest inspection.

The Gables is beautiful inside and out, with private courtyard gardens for our residents to enjoy, as well as a number of communal areas including large lounges, dining room and relaxing quiet spaces.

The home features a salon for our residents to enjoy regular hairdressing and nail care appointments, with lifts to the first floor making the home accessible for all. The town of Chatteris is a pleasant and historic setting with many fantastic attractions for our residents to enjoy including a library, local history museum, and weekly market. The high street benefits from a post office, supermarket, public houses, bakeries, newsagents and general stores.

Each of our bedrooms across the group aims to provide a relaxing, calm and friendly environment for our residents to call home.

We encourage all of our residents to personalise and decorate their living space to their personal likes and interests.

Our highly skilled staff are given the skills and confidence that they need in order to deliver the highest standards of care and support to every resident.

Regular activities include flower arranging, art and craft sessions, quiz nights, and tea parties as part of our regular activities schedule which is on display for all to see. As well as fun events in the home, entertainers often come and visit us too. We have recently been visited by the Salvation Army, animal therapists Zoolab, and many talented musicians and singers.

As you would expect, special holidays are incorporated into our activity calendar and birthdays are always celebrated with a party and a big slice of cake which is handmade by our wonderful kitchen team led by Chef Heath Brown – all of our residents receive a birthday cake designed with their interests in mind to give them a truly unique experience.

We invite our residents to join in with choosing and planning activities and encourage those moving in with us to continue with their current hobbies and interests. We create bespoke activities calendars specifically to include events dear to our residents. From supporting charities of their choosing in fundraising events, to launching new resident clubs based on their interests and hobbies.
