At its best, a residential care home is “home away from home”. In the words of Bianca Gurca, Registered Manager at Romsey’s Cedar Lawn Nursing Home, it’s “…an opportunity to let go of some of the stresses of getting older and let caring, compassionate nursing staff take the strain – giving you the care and attention you deserve, 24/7.”
With 28 bedrooms, most with en-suites and four with access to enhanced accessibility bathrooms, Hampshire’s Cedar Lawn has long enjoyed an excellent local reputation for outstanding nursing, respite and palliative care.
Whilst the building itself exudes period charm, the facilities within are up to date with modern, progressive senior care. A sophisticated 24-hour nurse call system means help is at hand the moment it’s needed.
Intelligent lighting, décor and furnishing help minimise disorientation. Bathrooms are well equipped with an array of safety and accessibility aids. And thoughtful features like low-touch temperature radiators promote safety and enhance peace of mind.
For many, the idea of moving into residential care is fraught with fears of losing their independence. With years of experience, the team at Cedar Lawn prioritise residents’ autonomy, continually encouraging them to continue with as many daily activities and “normal life” as possible.
This is a prerequisite for ongoing emotional and psychological wellbeing and is a foundation of all respite and long-term residential care at Cedar Lawn.
Mealtimes play an important role in quality residential care. Served in the bright and airy dining room with delightful garden views, breakfast, lunch and dinner provide regular social interaction and underpin the welcoming sense of community at Cedar Lawn.
As local Hampshire produce and ingredients are sourced in season, menus change on a daily basis, offering variety and plenty to please every palate. Naturally, all dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances are diligently observed at all times.
From a companionable cuppa in the lounge to stimulating arts, crafts and gentle exercise; from resting in a sunny spot in the courtyard to strolling in the landscaped gardens… residential care at Cedar Lawn is all about cherished moments and memories.
Visiting family, friends and loved ones are also welcomed to lift the spirits and brighten the day. And regular local trips in the home’s own minibus enable residents to enjoy the beautiful surrounding Romsey countryside, towns and coastline.
Cedar Lawn Nursing Care Home is a CQC approved care home offering compassionate and professional support in a warm, homely environment. With personalised care plans, 24/7 nursing support, engaging activities, and freshly prepared nutritious meals, we ensure residents live comfortably, safely and with dignity.
