Broadmead Rest Home

We are following strict infection control measures in all Blissful care homes. By using appropriate PPE, carrying out frequent deep cleaning and rolling out testing for our staff and residents, we are doing all we can to limit the spread of infection

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.

Broadmead offers a range of communal areas, including a dining room, a quiet room which is used for both videocalling families and sensory time and a range of other bright and welcoming spaces. The rooms are used for mealtimes, activities, showing films and socialising with friends and family, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere. We also have a custom wifi solution to ensure our residents have access anywhere in the home.

Broadmead Residential Home also features its own hairdressing salon, helping to maintain dignity and self-respect and making people feel good about themselves.

Our bedrooms are designed to provide each individual with a private, welcoming and safe place which promotes a good night’s sleep. Each bedroom features an en-suite wet room, a profiling bed with specialist pressure relieving mattresses, television and an internet telephone to help people stay in touch with friends and relatives.

Each room is decorated in a modern yet homely style and finished to a high standard. Residents are encouraged to personalise their room by decorating it with cherished possessions such as pictures, photos, ornaments and other personal items. Although all rooms are fully furnished, some residents like to bring in small items of their own furniture. Personalising rooms can help people to settle in, enhance their sense of identity and provide useful and important talking-points for the staff to engage people in meaningful conversation.

Keeping active is central to the care we provide at Broadmead. Many of our residents thrive on opportunities for social interaction with fellow residents, friends and family and the local community. Our Lifestyle Coordinators are skilled at planning enjoyable, stimulating activities that help maintain life skills, support independence and contribute to both physical and mental wellbeing. Residents are encouraged to engage in choosing activities and letting us know what they want to do. As a result, our activities are very varied, from sedate crosswords over a cup of tea, to pamper days, theme nights, fetes and entertainers from the local community.

With dementia care a key part of what we do at Broadmead, we also ensure that there are also plenty of sensory activities on offer, from arts and crafts to dementia-friendly puzzles, games, twiddle muffs and a sensory smell, touch and feel box.
