We strive to deliver our care in as near to a normal domestic environment as possible and we are proud that Lampton House has the feel of a large family house. We aim to provide our residents with a safe and secure home where their wellbeing and comfort are of paramount importance and their dignity, individuality and privacy are respected. We expect our staff to display respect and patience at all times. Most of our residents are ambulant and we support everyone to make their own daily decisions.

Making Lampton House your home

We invite all prospective residents to spend a day with us, as our guest, before deciding if Lampton House is the right choice for them. If this is not possible then we will happily visit a prospective resident in their own home or in hospital. Our rooms are fully furnished but we can make space for most items of personal furniture a resident might wish to bring and we are happy to collect items locally in advance of admission so that new residents feels at home as soon as they arrive. If we cannot offer a new resident the room of their choice at first then we are more than happy for them to move within the home when a preferred room does become available. We have open visiting hours and visitors are welcome to dine with residents at any time and there is no charge or this.

We place great emphasis on our catering and we provide for each resident’s needs individually. Residents have meals in their rooms if they wish (most take breakfast this way) but we do encourage everyone to come to the dining room for other meals. Lunch is the main meal of the day and we have a daily menu. Choices are also available for breakfast and supper and residents may have a snack or drink at any other time of the day or night. Light alcoholic refreshments are available at all times and we serve wine with our roast dinners on Wednesdays and Sundays. We also have small mobile shop which sells toiletries, confectionary, cards etc.

Our activities organiser, Celia, arranges regular entertainment and activities within the home and our gardener runs a weekly gardening club. Residents who want a change of scenery can enjoy our short car rides to local places of interest or attend services at our local church. Church of England services and Roman Catholic Communion are held regularly in the home and residents may attend if they wish. Our activities team will also help with personal shopping, outings, appointments and contact with family and friends. We have a hair salon in the home and our hairdresser visits every week.

Short Stays (Respite Care)

We offer short stay or respite care. Respite care is generally for a defined period perhaps to help someone recuperate after a spell in hospital or perhaps to give family carers a break. New friendships are made and we often see respite residents more than once!

NHS and Other Services

We have an excellent GP practice in Long Ashton and most residents find it convenient to join their patient list. If necessary, we can take residents to the surgery but as the doctors visit us regularly this is not normally necessary. We also provide full guidance about other NHS services such as physiotherapy, chiropody and dental care and the relevant practitioners also visit us regularly.
Fees

Our fees cover all the normal day-to-day needs of our residents including care and attention, food, laundry, entertainment, activities, and local excursions etc.

Most of our residents are self-funding but there are several benefits available for self-funding residents. In addition, local authorities can offer financial assistance to individuals where capital is below £23,500. Our financial manager, Christine Bowers, is happy to offer informal advice to prospective residents in connection with any  funding issues - please feel free to call her on 01275 374669.
