Moreover, the home’s specialist Memory Lane Community utilises a careful blend of skills and techniques developed by leading experts in the field of dementia care. We have thoughtful interior design features, such us adapted crockery and tableware assists with reminiscence.
We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone. But also because planning ahead may be needed to ensure that where you live now is ‘age proofed’, and that if you wish to consider moving, you have good information and advice to help you understand all your options. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care.
Activities & Events
We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available.
Our Housing Directory aims to include all housing schemes /developments in the UK that are intended for older people. Getting older can make it more difficult to get around and do the things you used to do, or would like to do. A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense.
If you have a home to sell, you may be able to use the proceeds to pay the deposit on a new property and take out a ‘lifetime mortgage’ to cover the rest of the cost. 38% of care seekers told us that having a hair & beauty salon was a key consideration to their selection process. Respite is also referred to as a short care home stay and may range from a few days to a couple weeks. An alternative housing option where retirees can remain independent in a convenient and comfortable home-from-home environment.
Here at Lochduhar, we’ll ensure you are supported in your career, with ongoing opportunities to develop and expand your skills. From care, nurse and support staff to our hospitality, housekeeping and maintenance teams, we recognise the crucial part that every individual plays in keeping Barchester homes thriving. You’ll be rewarded for your continuous hard work and feel that your commitment is truly valued. A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families.
As with hotels, the cost of living in a care home varies widely according to its location, the size of your room or suite, and the facilities on offer. There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold.
