Derby Heights Care Home

We are confident that our care homes are now some of the very safest places to live and work.

All of our staff have been trained in additional and heightened cleansing protocols and hygiene regimes, and these are being supported by a leading sanitisation system as part of our comprehensive infection controls. Testing regimes will continue for staff, residents and visitors.

We have re-aligned the resident in-house services to meet social distance guidance from the Government, for areas such as lounges and dining rooms, and for visiting entertainers and hair dressers; we are working hard to restore these services within the ‘new normal’ circumstances as soon as we can, when lockdown rules allow.

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.

Our care home in Derby has such a variety of spaces from private dining rooms to a fully installed cinema, there is something here for everyone, a room whatever the occasion or mood. From relaxing reading lounges to the buzz and spaciousness of Wren’s Café, with its floor to ceiling windows. Life at Derby Heights is what you make it, whether it is reminiscing with new friends, entertaining family or just catching up on the papers in one of our many communal lounges.

Derby Heights offers a variety of en-suite bedrooms, including companion suites for couples and bedrooms that access their very own patio areas and for whom our large, landscaped garden with its mature trees, paths, raised beds and gazebo is just an open door away. All rooms have en-suite wet rooms and TVs as standard.

Life within our residential care home is both stimulating and varied. We recruit energetic Well-being Co-ordinators who ensure that there is always something going on, whatever your interests, each and every day of the week. We publish our programme of activities and events so that family and friends can join in, and we also ensure that our Derby Heights Facebook page is regularly updated so that relatives can see what we are getting up to, even when they are unable to visit. It is something that has proven very popular.

We like to get out and about across Derbyshire too and our mini-van is a regular visitor to local places of interest, whether it is trips to the theatre, local heritage sites, shopping or just a Sunday lunch down at the pub.
