We provide permanent residential care for elderly
people who need help to live independently. Most of our residents enjoy the social life and activities
here, maintain good contact with their families, and are happy here.
We also provide short-term respite care for example where a
family member who provides care needs a break or a holiday, and also for convalescence or recuperation after a stay in hospital.
Visitors to the home and to residents are welcome at all reasonable times, provided
that the resident wishes to see them.
An important feature of our home is the activities which we organise
for residents. Most residents enjoy these activities and look forward to them. They
take place both inside and outside the home. Activities in the home include bingo, carpet bowls, drawing
and model making, and many others. Outside activities include short escorted walks to the local shop, the
pub or the river bank.
Entertainment is regularly staged in the home by outside visiting entertainers and these
are very popular.
Residents are also encouraged to pursue their own interests as far as possible. We
provide television in the lounges and the public library provides and changes books at Marifa Lodge.
Residents
are encouraged to maintain links with friends, relatives and the community by going out on visits and trips. We
encourage friends and relatives to take residents out with them or to their homes.
Our fees depend on the level of care needed and on the type of room. An
indication of fee levels is given in the table below.
Some of our residents are part funded by Social Services. For
these in most cases Social Services collect the resident’s contribution and pay the total amount to us.
Residents
who pay their own fees pay direct to us privately.
