Cinnamon Retirement Living care homes are all about you and your quality of life. The environment rivals a luxury hotel with facilities such as spas and swimming pools all designed to make your life more enjoyable.
Formed at the heart of the Village Centre Building, our care homes are central to the community and whilst all have their own lounges, dining rooms and other communal areas, you and your family are welcome to use all of the extensive Village facilities.
We are able to offer you the following types of care dependent on your health, wellbeing and care needs:
Residential Care is for people who are looking for 24-hour support but do not require higher level care which is nursing led.
It is for those who are older or frail, who perhaps need assistance with personal care such as washing and dressing or assistance with medication. Our residential care homes provide a safe, healthy, engaging environment where you can socialise and enjoy your life with the reassurance of 24-hour assistance. Residential Care Homes are now simply known as Care Homes.
Nursing care is for people who have more intensive care needs which require nursing intervention 24-hours a day.
What were once known as Nursing Homes, today are called Care Homes with Nursing. As well asbeing staffed by care assistants they will be led by Registered Nurses who are qualified to provide more specialised care, for example, for people who maybe recovering from a stroke, people who need peg feeding or end of life care. Compassionate and responsive, our nurses aim to enhance independence, ensure comfort and support recovery.
We provide specialist, professional care for those living with a dementia.
The part of the care home for dementia residents is specially designed and furnished to aid, stimulate and reassure those living with the condition. We offer events and activities tailored to dementia residents with all staff, from nurses to carers having dementia-specific training and qualifications.
The perfect solution for short-term care to recuperate after an illness or operation, or to give your carer a break.
A respite stay is also the ideal way to try life in a Cinnamon Retirement Living Care Home before committing to move for a long-term stay.
We want to change the view most people have of a care home. Excellent care is a given but we don’t want it just to be a place where you go just to receive care and support. We take an holistic approach to care so that you can get the most out of life, continue to enjoy your interests and hobbies and try new things.
We don’t see care as purely physical care and support; we strive to understand you as a person, what makes you ‘tick’ and focus on making your life better.
Quite simply, our staff are the most important part of a Cinnamon Retirement Living Care Home. Our staff are well trained and rewarded, motivated and valued, and feel part of a team. Unlike traditional care home models, our Care Managers focus exclusively on caring for you and managing and motivating our staff.
Operationally, matters such as maintenance and administration are dealt with separately by the Village Manager leaving our Care Managers to focus on what’s really important.
Similarly, a dedicated hospitality and housekeeping team ensures nurses and carers spend their time caring for you rather than serving meals or cleaning. You will also have a dedicated carer as a daily point of contact.
Like the rest of the Retirement Village the care home has been designed and furnished by our interior designers to give a homely but luxurious feel. Our care homes are split into smaller ‘communities’ each with their own facilities, making it easier for you to make friends and socialise with other residents and staff.
All rooms are spacious, bright and fully furnished with an electric profiling bed, TV, WiFi, telephone, and an en-suite wet room. There is no extra charge for the WiFi and telephone; you can even bring your old number with you! Whilst we do our utmost to ensure your room looks amazing, we do encourage you to bring personal furniture, ornaments and pictures to make this space your own.
Our Events & Activities Team will spend time to meet with you to learn about your hobbies and interests, how you enjoy spending your time and more importantly, what unfulfilled ambitions you may have.
Our chefs design a varied menu of delicious and nutritious meals using local suppliers and seasonal produce. They will spend time with you to understand what you like and how you like it prepared and presented.
So whether it’s a light snack or a 3-course dinner we aim to ensure there is always something to whet your appetite. Where you eat is up to you; in the dining room with friends or in the privacy of your own room. And for a special occasion why not book the private dining room next to the main Village restaurant?
We are constantly looking to use modern technology, to improve the quality of your life.
For example, helping you stay in touch with friends and family using tablets and apps such as Skype so that you can talk to loved ones throughout the country and the world.
We use electronic care planning which means with your permission your family can check that you are well and see the things you have been enjoying throughout the day.
If you wish, acoustic monitoring can be used so that you are not disturbed throughout the night should we need to check on you more regularly.
We actively encourage visitors and families to be part of everyday life by joining in events and activities and your family and friends are always welcome to dine with you. There are no visiting times, it is your home and you are welcome to receive guests at anytime. All Cinnamon Retirement Villages offer bookable guest accommodation allowing family and friends to arrange overnight stays.
