Crossways is a private Nursing Home which joined the Contemplation Homes Group in April 2005.

Registration:        30 male and female residents aged 55+

Categories:         Care with Nursing (N).

Physical Disability (PD)

Physical Disability over the age of 65 years of age (PD(E))

Old Age (OP)

In addition we are able to admit 5 residents over the age of 45 under the category of Physical Disability.    

We are not registered to admit elderly mentally ill patients unless their nursing needs outweigh their mental health needs. Assessment prior to admission is essential to ensure that the patient is placed appropriately.
 
The building was originally built as a Residential Home and was totally refurbished in 1993 to accommodate 30 residents requiring Nursing Care. 
 

Bedrooms:           18 single bedrooms (3 en-suite)

6 shared rooms (1 en-suite).

Bathing:                4 shared bathrooms,

2 with specialised height adjustable bathing facilities.

The bedrooms are equipped and decorated to a high standard and we encourage our residents to bring in personal items such as ornaments and photographs to enable them to feel completely at home. Families can install personal televisions and telephones as they wish.
 
There is a large lounge that has a quiet area and separate dining room for residents and their families to use. 
  
There is a large, attractive, well-established garden with a gazebo and covered patio for the residents to enjoy during fine weather. Residents often have their coffee and tea sitting in the garden with their families. The gardens to the rear of the Home overlook open countryside.
 
There is ample room for car parking in the grounds.  
 
The Matron, Mrs. Lynn Rawlins, is a Registered General Nurse and is registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection as the Manager of Crossways. Lynn can be contacted at the Home and has the day to day responsibility for the running of the Home.
