Angusfield Care Home

The welfare, safety and happiness of residents, team members and visitors is our number one priority. Our stringent measures are constantly reviewed to ensure we continue to meet Government and Public Health guidance, for everyone’s safety and wellbeing, whilst continuing to offer a comfortable and happy place to live, work and visit.

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.

Family Portal

Yes, our care home has provides families with a family portal. Find out more about Family Portals.

Whether you’re entertaining your family and friends, spending time with other residents or taking part in activities, our living rooms are ideal. It’s always up to you whether you want to get involved with activities – you’re more than welcome to sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

There are three communal lounges in the home, including a quiet lounge, perfect for relaxing with visitors or having some peace and quiet.

We are surrounded by well-maintained gardens here at Angusfield House, including a recent expansion to our dementia unit’s garden. We have a seated potting shed area for those residents keen to exercise their green fingers and a washing line for those wanting to carry out some of life’s daily tasks.

All our rooms have recently been refurbished to the highest specifications with new furniture, soft furnishings and fittings. We have designed the rooms with your comfort in mind. Your bedroom furniture consists of: a bed appropriate to your needs, wardrobe, bedside table with lockable drawer, armchair and other furniture suitable to the size of the room. Your bed linen and towels are provided by the home.

The majority of our rooms are en-suite and there are bath and shower rooms on each floor for residents to use with or without assistance.

We understand that moving into Angusfield House will be a considerable transition, but one we try to make feel as easy as possible. Your room is your own personal space, which is why we encourage you to personalise it if you like, by hanging your favourite pictures or bringing small pieces of furniture.

A willingness to get involved and try new things is something we see time and again, once people are given the opportunity. We have a dedicated Recreation and Activities Coordinator who oversees everything, but all our staff regularly brainstorm new ideas, too. And our residents and their relatives can make suggestions at our regular activity meetings, so we can be sure everyone’s looking forward to something, every day.

Activities are person-centred, so rather than stick to a strict programme, we vary them every week: from music and movement, to therapy pets and skittles. And everything’s flexible – if it’s sunny we try and get outside, so everyone can appreciate the best of the day. We’ve built excellent links to the community, allowing residents to continue their lives outside the home with ease. We have our own minibus which is used extensively to take residents out on trips. We’re also visited by musicians and community groups on a regular basis.

Every brighterkind home now has a Magic Moments Club which provides a vast range of activities and fun things to do that are open to all of our residents.

There are currently no pets in the home. However, it might be possible for you to bring a pet. You can discuss this with the Home Manager. Relatives are welcome to bring pets along to visit you.
