Brief description

Up to 34 older people who need nursing care or personal care can make their home in High Meadow Nursing Home (the Service).
 
The main property is a three storey detached building that has been adapted for its present use. At the back there is a large purpose built ground floor extension.

In the main building the accommodation is on all three floors. There is a passenger lift that gives step-free access around the accommodation.
 
When full, six of the bedrooms can be shared by two people.

All of the other bedrooms are for single occupancy. All of the bedrooms have a private wash hand basin. One of them also has a private shower and toilet and a further four have their own toilet.

The bedrooms are laid out as bed sitting areas. There is a bed, a comfortable chair, bed side table and a wardrobe. Each bedroom has a television point and people can pay to have a telephone point put in if they want to.

 
There are an adequate number of toilets and bathrooms.
 
There is a main lounge, a conservatory and the dining room on the ground floor.
 
All of the bedrooms, the bathrooms and the toilets are connected to a call bell system.

This means that people can summon a member of staff if they need assistance.

To get to it there is quite a steep path. The garden has both lawns and flower beds.
 
The Service is set back a little from a busy main road.
