Life in a Bupa care home
Homely atmospheres, long-lasting friendships and a calendar full of exciting activities bring
our care homes to life. Each of them offer a warm welcome to anyone coming to stay.
Make yourself at home
We tailor our care around our residents, everything from the meals they like, activities they enjoy and their preferred bedtime.
A warm welcome
When a new resident arrives they’ll be met by their key carer, who’ll give them a guided tour of their new home. They’ll also tell them about meal times, activities and introduce them to some of the other residents and members of staff.
Personalised care plan
When a new resident joins us, we make getting to know them and their relatives a top priority. This helps us to build a picture of how they’d like to be supported day-to-day, so we can create a personalised care plan.
Staying connected
Visitors are welcome at any time, whether that’s for a coffee, a catch-up or to take part in an activity. Family and friends are encouraged to join for meal times too, especially at the start of the resident's stay.
Fresh, healthy food
Mealtimes are an important part of daily life in our homes. Our chefs carefully select a different menu for each day of the week, making sure our residents enjoy a variety of our home cooked dishes.
Our chefs always use fresh ingredients to prepare delicious, nutritionally-balanced meals throughout the day and night.
“My mother spent 4 week's respite during October/November. She enjoyed her food and the activities, especially the afternoon entertainment. The family found visiting was a pleasure”

A fulfilling life
“We want life in our homes to be as active and engaging as our residents want it to be. Clubs, special events and trips out are tailor-made to our residents. They can join in when they choose and so can you and your family”
Activities and events
“Each of our homes plan their social calendar around their residents needs and what they enjoy, covering everything from quizzes and crafts to darts and boccia.”

Flying high
“Everyone’s got ambitions that they’d like to achieve and being in a care home shouldn’t get in the way of that. We helped Joe tick flying a plane off his bucket list.”

Experience Manager, The Lindsay
All that jazz
“After falling in love with jazz music aged 14, John Trevor Lee regularly went to jazz nights to see his favourite bands. Knowing his love for jazz music we invited his favourite band - the Savannah Jazz Band to perform alongside him”
