Keeping Things Personal

The lovely surroundings at The Orchard nursing home are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for. That means your loved one’s time at The Orchard is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.

We give as much independence as possible at The Orchard, giving individuals the choice as to how to run the home. If they prefer dinner in front of the TV, to clean their own rooms, or anything else, we’ll make it happen. Residents’ rooms are theirs to personalise with the things they love.

FAQs

Do I need to book a viewing?

You should be able to visit The Orchard Nursing Home at any time – we advise visiting more than once and at different times, so that you can get a clearer understanding of what it is like throughout the day. If you wish to meet the Home Manager during your visit, you might want to consider booking in advance to help ensure they are available when you attend. You can book a viewing using the form or by calling the home.

Who decides on the menu?

At our care home in St Albans, Our Head Chef and the team have many years of cooking experience. They craft their nutritionally balanced menus using seasonal produce, and are guided by the feedback provided to them from our residents during their monthly hospitality meetings and individual care plans.

What qualifications do your care team have?

All members of our care teams are given the training and support needed to help them provide the highest standards of care.

Caring Homes has been providing care for over 29 years. Every team member receives our unique ‘Living in my World’ dementia training. This highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, as well as addressing clinical aspects of care.

Our ‘Food in my World’ training provides the hospitality team and chefs with the skills and knowledge to stimulate senses and increase creativity in the cooking and presentation of food. This can provide a much-improved dining experience for residents at the Orchard Nursing Home living with dementia and or dysphagia.

How long can people stay in a care home for?

The length of time people spend in a care home varies according to their needs and preferences. The Orchard Nursing Home offers permanent care to suit your needs or perhaps a respite stay might be required during a period of convalescence after being in hospital. Day Care is also available at many homes to ensure care can continue when a regular carer is unavailable.
