Great places to socialise, enjoy an activity or have quiet time
This purpose-built home has been designed to be dementia friendly from top to bottom. This helps residents to feel safe, move around the home more easily, and have opportunities for stimulation and enjoyment.
Recreating familiar settings
We have our own Betty’s Café and Albert’s Bar, plus wallpapers and painted fences to simulate outdoor scenes, gardens, beaches, and libraries.
Places to welcome and entertain children
All of the lounges have a children’s play corner, and there’s a children’s play area outside. This makes it a pleasure for grandchildren to visit, and for the residents to enjoy watching them play.
A dedicated activities room
Creativity is stimulating – our own activities room means residents can enjoy getting stuck into arts and crafts in the perfect environment.
There’s no typical day at Thatcham Court, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about.
Encouraging residents’ creativity
We help our residents get involved with gardening, knitting, pottery, art, and cooking. All of this helps residents to make the home that bit more special.
A variety of outings for all interests
We’ve held trips to the zoo, farms, steam trains, army flying museum, and football matches. Residents always get to choose where we go.
Making dreams come true
We think it’s #NeverTooLate so wherever we can, we help residents to achieve something from their ‘bucket list’.
"People were treated with kindness and compassion. They were respected and had their privacy and dignity maintained… There were no restrictions on visiting times and people were encouraged to maintain relationships important to them. People and staff interacted positively… There was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and we observed people laughing and smiling with staff as they went about their daily business."
"The care mum has received has been brilliant. The staff are always there to help if you have any problems. I receive regular calls to inform me how mum is getting on. Overall I would highly recommend Thatcham Court Care Home."
Daughter of Resident, 15 July 2021, carehome.co.uk
"My experience with this care home, including my other visits, has been wonderful. Everyone makes you welcome and are friendly and helpful. I know that my mum is safe and being care for in the same way I would try and give her."
Daughter of Resident, 11 May 2021, carehome.co.uk
"My father has been at the home since July 2019. This year we have had only window visits. The home has coped really well and has made every effort to keep contact between us. I know Dad is very well looked after and very safe during these uncertain days. They are always at the end of the phone if I have had any concerns."
Daughter of Resident, 6 January 2021, carehome.co.uk
