We are situated in a highly desired area of Maidstone on a very leafy avenue with excellent transport links. Lulworth House is a residential home designed to cater for the special needs of residents who have a diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease or any form of dementia. The home is circa 1920's and the front of the home retains its original character. The interior fixtures and fittings have encompassed much of the latest design in accordance with research carried out by The Sterling University "for people with dementia". The aim is to balance the need for constructive stimulation against the need for a calming environment. Our home offers 34 single rooms and 4 double "companion" rooms; some have en-suite facilities. All rooms are comfortably furnished and equipped with a nurse call system and telephone points can be arranged via the home manager. We actively encourage our families to work with us to make the residents' rooms a "home from home" - This can be achieved by focusing the room around the residents most valued and treasured possessions, pictures, photos and mementos of the past. The home has a large patio area to the side of the conservatory and it is regularly used in the summer months for our many summer parties and barbeques. Our dining room is light and airy and this is where our residents are served home cooked meals of the highest standard - Alternatively, and upon request, residents may choose to dine in their own rooms. All diets are catered for and our meals are varied and cooked from fresh ingredients daily. Our activities coordinator arranges a varied programme which is based on the physical and cognitive abilities of the residents and their likes and dislikes. Activities are carried out in either groups are on a one to one basis, depending on the needs of the resident. The activities available are broad - They can consist of physical games, quizzes, sing- songs, gardening, cooking, dancing, board games, reminiscence programmes, and outings to the coast or to the country-side. We hold film nights and have cream tea dances and have professional entertainment come into the home each month. |
