There are two lounges; a large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room, all centrally heated.

Smoking is not allowed in these public rooms and, whilst generally discouraged within the home, a separate room is set aside for this purpose. All rooms have privacy locks on doors and a lockable facility to secure valuables and personal items.

Admission

Service Users interested in coming to Glevum Farm Trust are encouraged to visit the home and sample the atmosphere and level of service. Often day-care is arranged on a regular weekly basis while waiting for a vacancy. This gives the client time to get to know the staff and adjust to new people and surroundings. A month's trial period is always given before offering permanent residency. The home is registered to accommodate 6 persons LD(E).

Glevum Farm Trust cannot care for and accommodate persons who require nursing care, which cannot be managed by the community District Nursing Service.

Privacy and Dignity

Staff are trained to strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all Service Users within a warm and caring atmosphere, and in so doing will be sensitive to the Service User's ever changing needs.

Smoking and Alcohol

The Home has a designated smoking area. With regard to alcohol, Service Users will normally make their own arrangements, but, as with smoking, may require to be supervised.


 

The trust works hard to identify the needs of all service users both at work and in the home,
and to meet these needs in order to help everyone reach their potential
