Brief description

Peregrine House provides long-term accommodation and personal care for a maximum of twenty-seven older people. The home provides a specialist service to people with dementia who are cared for alongside other residents. If capacity permits people may be admitted on a short-term or respite care basis.


 
The home is in a residential area of Whitby and is conveniently located for all main community facilities. It does not have its own parking facilities but ample on-road parking is readily available. It is a traditional building constructed during the late Victorian period.

It was originally three properties that have been converted into one.
 
Peregrine House is built on three floors with service users accommodation on each floor. The main communal areas, such as the dining room, are located on the ground floor.

Peregrine House has a number of small lounge areas situated on the upper floors thereby giving the service users a choice of communal space. The home has twenty-three single and two shared or double bedrooms, all of which have en suite facilities consisting of a toilet and a wash hand basin. There is a passenger lift to all floors suitable for a wheelchair user and their helper.


 
The home has large lawned gardens that have areas of seating for service users. Several windbreaks have been built in the garden so that people can sit in comfort and privacy with some raised planting areas. Ramps with handrails lead to all the main entrance doors.
 
Information is given to new and existing service users to the home detailing the accommodation, facilities and services provided.

The weekly fee is quoted by the registered manager as between £344.45 and £585.00 per week in December 2009. Additional charges not covered by the fee are hairdressing, private chiropody, newspapers at cost price, and bus outings at a subsidised cost.
