Description of Avon Court Nursing and Residential Home
Below is what Compare Care Homes knows about this care home provider. The words 'we', 'us' and 'our' do not necessarily refer to Compare Care Homes. Also, references to inspections are likely to relate to inspections by the care home regulator for this part of the UK.
This spacious home with beautiful views over the Wiltshire countryside is a short distance from the pretty market town of Chippenham. The home is regarded as ‘excellent’ by the Care Quality Commission – awarded to those homes that achieve exceptional levels of care and comfort.
The care we offer
Avon Court offers care to suit individual needs, including nursing, residential, and care for those with dementia. The home also offers palliative care as well as respite and short stay care. Our dedicated nurses and carers are highly trained and experienced in looking after the needs of older people.
Key features of Avon Court
Spacious, well-equipped and wheelchair accessible throughout, Avon Court has a range of communal areas. These include a lounge with adjoining conservatory on the ground floor, which overlooks the delightful garden. A further smaller lounge offers space for relaxing and quiet time. Additonal areas include a sensory room and a third lounge with a reminiscence area, where residents - particularly those with dementia - enjoy spending time.
Bedrooms
All bedrooms are attractively decorated and have ensuite facilities, 24-hour call system, thermostatic radiators and a telephone point. Some rooms also have views of the lovely gardens. Residents are welcome to make their rooms more homely with personal items such as ornaments, pictures and small items of furniture if they wish.
Home life
Many residents enjoy being involved in day-to-day tasks, such as gentle gardening, flower arranging or even a spot of tidying up. This often helps keep routine and normality in the life of our residents, as well as participating in a variety of activities. Residents at Avon Court also delight in the home's two lovely gardens. The first is enclosed for all residents to enjoy and is safe and secure. The second has a sensory garden, pergola and veranda where residents can enjoy their meals in the warm weather.
