Kingfisher House is a purpose built nursing and residential home, providing nursing and social care in a selection of differing rooms. Most of our rooms are for single occupancy, although several are large enough for sharing companions. All have private toilet facilities. Kingfisher House is situated in attractive grounds in a quiet area of Newmarket, within easy reach of shops, other amenities and public transport.
Care
At Kingfisher House, care is based around each person's individual needs. Some of our residents have only modest care requirements, and may simply enjoy living with a secure and caring environment. Others need 24 hour nursing assistance. Whatever the need, care is delivered with patience, kindness and understanding.
The Care plan for each resident is exclusive, and aimed at promoting health and independence. Residents and, where appropriate their families, are involved as far as is practical in the decisions regarding their care.
Doctors from local practices visit Kingfisher House on a regular basis or by individual appointment. Residents are registered with an on-site GP who visits regularly.
We very much recognise the importance of personal, individual and resident focused care. To achieve this, good communication between all members of the care team, be they nurses, carers, relatives or doctors, is essential.
Facilities
Kingfisher House has lounges, quiet sitting rooms and a separate lounge for smoking. Separate dining rooms, where residents can join the company of others at meal times are also an important feature of the home.
The home is attended by experienced hair stylists, chiropodists and a range of complementary therapies can be arranged to suit individual requirements.
A varied programme of activities also takes place in the home for the benefit of residents.
Visitors are welcome at any time and in addition all our facilities are extended to close friends and family.
Choice of Foods
Our Chef prepares a wide range of home cooked food based upon traditional cooking using fresh produce. Special diets are catered for and daily choices are available.
Meals are served to suit the convenience of residents and can be served in the privacy of bedrooms or at the table in our dining rooms.
Entertaining guests or small private parties is available for which there is a small extra charge.
Types of Stay
Whilst most of our residents live permanently at Kingfisher House there are a regular number of returning guests who choose to stay with us for shorter periods of days or weeks. Many people find a break from their own home an essential tonic. Others may choose to rest with us following a period of poorer health and recuperate at the home.
We fully appreciate the stress associated with leaving home to live in a new location, and are happy to accept new residents for an agreed trial period at the end of which there would be no further obligation.
Philosophy of Care
We are committed to providing the highest possible standards of care. Residents will be treated as individuals and cared for with respect and dignity with a safe, comfortable and homely environment which provides stimulation and encourages independence where appropriate.
