Mortimer House

The specialist care at Mortimer House encompasses three main areas: Older people with learning disabilities, people with dementia, including those with Downs Syndrome, and End of Life care. An individual's social, health and nursing care needs are provided for, as well as their sensory and physical requirements.

Perhaps the greatest asset of Mortimer House is its dedicated staff team, who have been commended repeatedly for their excellent care. The emphasis is on a variety of activities, and staff at Mortimer House are inventive and innovative at bringing experiences into the home.

Mortimer runs an in-house monthly church service with a local church. There are also four qualified tutors who hold activity sessions for 14 hours each week, involving all residents. Activities include sewing, literacy, arts, skittles, crafts and much more depending on individual interests.

Mortimer House has 28 en-suite bedrooms on two floors, served by lifts. Each floor has its own dining room, and there are also individual kitchenettes. Hundreds of light bulbs and broad windows make the rooms light and airy, and automatic lighting systems brighten the environment at key times of day. Dementia-specific signage and different colour schemes help lead people through the corridors, highlighting hand rails and doors.

The landscaped gardens include sensory features and different areas with gazebos and trellises. The general environment contributes to an enhanced quality of life.
