Brief description

Drayton House is registered to provide personal care for a maximum of 19 older people including up to four with dementia. The accommodation is on the ground and first floors with a small passenger lift serving both floors. Seven of the thirteen single bedrooms have en-suite hygiene facilities and there are 3 larger rooms that may be used to accommodate 2 residents who have made a positive choice to share with each other.

None of the shared use rooms have en suite facilities; all bedrooms have a wash hand basin. Communal facilities include two lounges, a small dining room and 3 bathrooms including two for assisted use. Drayton House is within walking distance of Bridport town centre with its shops and services.

There is space at the front of the house to park two cars; parking is not permitted in the road in front of Drayton House. Behind the house is a steep raised garden accessible only by steps and therefore rarely used by residents of the home. There is a small patio at the side of the house accessible via patio doors from the rear lounge.

Laundering of clothing and household linen is carried out at the home and arrangements can be made for chiropodists, opticians and other health and social care professionals to visit individual residents.
