Brief description
St Matthews was opened in 2003. It caters for the needs of 52 older people. 27 beds are dedicated to personal care on the ground floor.
The remaining 25 places are on the first floor and are offered to residents with dementia.
There is ample storage space and a room has been assigned specifically for therapies and another for hairdressing. The laundry, kitchen and staff room are situated on the lower ground floor.
Throughout the home there are facilities for visitors to prepare refreshments. The home has a large enclosed garden and this enables residents to utilize the grounds safely. A number of bedrooms have a patio area outside with direct access for the benefit of residents.
Closed circuit television cameras are discreetly positioned over the main entrances to the home. The home is adjacent to a children's nursery and therefore benefits from additional security measures.
Copies of the home's Statement of Purpose, Service User's Guide and the most recent CQC report are on display in the reception area.
This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
