Life at Douglas Court Care Home

We believe that moving into a care home should never mean giving up the hobbies and routines that make life enjoyable. At Douglas Court, we encourage residents to continue doing the things they love, while also providing opportunities to try new activities and become part of our vibrant community.

Getting to know each resident as an individual is at the heart of our approach to delivering personalised care. By understanding personal interests and life experiences, we can help residents enjoy meaningful experiences that support their well-being and enhance everyday life.

Whether residents enjoy creative activities, gardening, social events, entertainment, or simply spending time relaxing in our comfortable lounges and sensory garden, there are plenty of opportunities to stay active and connected. Our facilities and dedicated team work together to ensure every resident can enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle that reflects their own interests and choices.

Comfortable Bedrooms

At Douglas Court, our comfortable bedrooms provide residents with a private space to relax and unwind. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to offer both comfort and practicality, creating a welcoming environment that supports residents’ well-being and independence.

We encourage residents to personalise their rooms with treasured belongings and familiar furnishings to create a space that reflects their personality and life story. Residents can enjoy some quiet time or spend visit time with loved ones with the comfort and privacy of having a room that feels uniquely their own.

Our experienced catering team prepares a variety of nutritious, home-cooked meals using quality ingredients with menus shaped by resident feedback to ensure plenty of choice and enjoyment.

We have two restaurant-style dining rooms allowing choice between a more formal dining experience or a relaxed, casual setting depending on preference. We understand that every resident has dietary requirements and our team works closely with residents to accommodate personal preferences and nutritional needs.

Our dining experience is designed to be enjoyable, contributing to the homely atmosphere that makes Douglas Court such a special place to live.

Hair Salon

Our on-site hair salon offers residents the opportunity to enjoy a little pampering and self-care in a relaxed environment. Our salon is a popular space where residents can feel refreshed and look their best while also giving residents the opportunity to unwind.

We understand the positive impact that personal grooming can have on confidence and self-esteem. To help with maintaining personal routines we make it easy for residents to access professional hairdressing services without leaving the comfort of the home.

The salon also provides a wonderful social opportunity allowing residents to catch up with friends and take some well-deserved time for themselves.

Our sensory garden provides a peaceful outdoor space where residents can relax and enjoy the benefits of spending time in nature. With comfortable patio seating areas and an aviary to enjoy, our garden offers a calm and welcoming environment for residents to spend time with family and friends or simply unwind in the fresh air.

The sights and sounds found throughout the garden provide opportunities for sensory stimulation and gentle outdoor activity, which encourage engagement and provide a calming experience, particularly for those living with dementia. Residents can spend time in nature and enjoy a peaceful environment at their own pace.

Sensory Rooms

At Douglas Court, our sensory rooms provide a calm and comforting environment designed to support relaxation and well-being. These specially created spaces offer gentle stimulation through a variety of lighting and sensory features, helping residents feel settled and at ease.

Our sensory rooms are particularly beneficial for residents living with dementia and other cognitive impairments as it offers a safe and familiar setting that can help reduce anxiety and encourage positive memories and interaction. They can also be enjoyed by any resident looking for a quiet space to enjoy some peaceful time away from busier communal areas.
