Facilities in the Nursing Home

Central Park Nursing Home is a purpose-built nursing home on 3 acres of land and gardens and is a family run Nursing Home. Central Park Nursing Home is striving towards the household model of care. In doing this, we have currently divided our nursing home into three separate areas: Memory Lane (our Dementia unit), Strawberry Fields (the middle unit) and Belvedere Drive (the front unit). Residents become familiar with the same staff allocated to each area and this also prevents cross contamination. Belvedere Drive hosts 21 residents comprising of 15 single en suite bedrooms, 3 double en suite bedrooms, 2 communal rooms and access to an enclosed outdoor courtyard.

Strawberry Fields is situated in the middle of the building. This unit hosts 28 residents and comprises of 12 single en suite bedrooms, 6 double bedrooms, 2 double en suite bedrooms, 2 large day rooms and 4 communal dining rooms. This area also has access to an enclosed courtyard. Memory Lane (our Dementia unit) hosts 18 residents and is comprised of 11 single en suite bedrooms, 2 double en suite bedrooms, 1 single bedroom, 1 double bedroom, 5 day rooms and dining areas. Memory Lane also has its own enclosed courtyard. Strawberry Fields and Belvedere Drive have 5 dining areas in the centre of the building and operate staggered meal times to ensure social distancing. There are 4 separate communal toilets, 2 bathrooms with a shower and a toilet and one shower and toilet throughout the building.

There are 3 visiting areas, 1 in each unit. There is also a staff bathroom and changing facilities in each area. There is a chapel situated in Strawberry Fields and also a treatment room/hairdressers room situated in Belvedere Drive. We have beautiful, landscaped gardens; listen to the tranquil sounds of the waterfall with seating available in a colourful flowered garden. We have a large pond, and you may walk over the bridge to a seated barbeque patio, where we have barbeques and picnics weather permitting.

We see our residents as individuals. We give as much choice as we can in day-today living and we support people in maintaining their independence. We hope that you will see Central Park Nursing Home as an extension of your former home and carry on your lifestyle as before, knowing that you have the care and support of our staff.
