Making every moment matter is just as important to us as the standard of care we deliver at Alex Wood House. Our main focus is ensuring that our residents’ needs are at the heart of everything we do. When a new resident joins us, we invest time in understanding their life story, their hobbies and the important people in their lives. We use this information to encourage our residents to live life the way they choose, with laughter and love.
Residents are encouraged to personalise their bedrooms by bringing furniture from home and our dedicated maintenance team are on hand to hang pictures and photographs to create a ‘home from home’.
Regular feedback forums give residents and family members the opportunity to suggest new experiences, outings and events, ensuring that our activities programme is varied, engaging, and reflects the choices and interests of our residents.
Alex Wood House is a residential, respite, and dementia care home, Cambridge. It is vital that our accessible activities programmes promote inclusivity and are continuously adapted and reviewed for the changing needs of our residents. You can view an example activity calendar here.
We strive for new and creative ways to meet the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual needs of our residents, including some of them starring in this brochure! Our regular clubs include gardening, exercise classes, quizzes and church services and we use our links with local schools and nurseries, churches and businesses to enhance our resident experience. We also know how to throw a good party and can often find the residents and team dancing and singing along to live entertainment.
