Personal Space

Bedrooms

Please feel free to use the bedroom as if it were your own home. You may wish to furnish the room how you please or you may simply enjoy the facilities provided. You may decorate the room in the colour of your choice and we will do that for you, however we regret wallpaper is not an option for decoration. That is because to offer a choice of decoration we may be asked to change wallpaper for every resident and you will agree that would be expensive.

Drinking water is available from the tap at the sink in the en-suite as it is plumbed directly from the mains water supply. Hot water temperature is controlled from a thermostat mixer valve and is set to 43C. Room temperature is controlled by a thermostatic valve on your radiator or a wall thermostat if your room has under floor heating.

Personal Possessions

All clothing should be labelled with your name and, if you wish, we can organise stick on labels with your name. Please arrange to do this before admission.
We insure all of your personal property but we must be advised of items of value greater than £100 that you may wish to bring with you and we strongly recommend that you make your own insurance arrangements for valuables in excess of £100.

We can photograph the item and have a record in the event of loss or damage. There is a safe on the premises for the safe keeping of valuable items and papers, should you wish to store items in our safe please contact the office. We cannot accept responsibility for personal property not included in your personal inventory.

Room to Relax

There are many small and and large lounges in each home and you are free to wander at will or choose one that suits you. Look at the plan on the wall next to the office.

Smoking

Smoking is permitted in only one area and a member of staff must accompany you if you wish to smoke. Staff who accompany you will have already agreed to do so in the full knowledge of the dangers of smoking. Your visitors may also use this facility. There is a no smoking policy within the confines of the building.
