The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home, Derby
 

We want to ensure all residents feel valued and involved, so we make every effort to celebrate important dates throughout the year.

Special days like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are particularly fun, allowing us to host themed events such as 1940s afternoon teas, or transforming our communal areas into a traditional pub with food and live music.

For our residents living with dementia, we regularly attend special dementia-friendly cinema screenings and a dementia café at The Derby Squad. This gives residents the chance to spend time with people outside the home.

The team at our Spondon nursing home is a fantastic asset and does so much to enrich our residents’ lives. We recently embarked on a 22-mile walk to raise money to put towards buying an experience table for our residents living with dementia called a Magic Table. Projecting light games onto a flat surface, the table is an amazing piece of technology that encourages residents to engage with one another through very simple but effective games.

Our residents love to take part in trips outside the residential and nursing home. For example, the team arranged an event on a boating excursion on ‘The Crusader’, which has been specially adapted by St John’s Ambulance to make it suitable for wheelchairs.

Pre-bookable respite care stays provide a fantastic option for caregivers to take a break from the high-pressure responsibility of caring full-time for a loved one. Respite breaks allow them to take time to recharge their batteries, while their loved one receives high-quality care and support.

The team is proud to achieve the Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF) status, which aims to better support the practical, emotional and social needs of the armed forces community living in care homes. The VFF is a collaboration between Armed Forces charities Royal Star & Garter and Royal British Legion and NHS Veterans’ Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA), with funding support from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. 

It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed.
