Redlands Court is a small
complex of 8 bungalows built in the
grounds of Redlands Acre Care Home.
The bungalows are linked to
the care home by a spacious octagonal conservatory
and glass
walkway, both of which are popular communal areas where all
residents can gather to enjoy the gardens whatever the weather.
Residents
in Redlands Court are welcome
to join those in the main
home for all manner of social activities,
day trips and outings.
Each bungalow comprises of an open
plan fitted kitchen and lounge/
diner with patio doors opening to the
garden. They also offer a double
bedroom, bathroom and hallway. The front doors open into a
central secure courtyard.
Redlands Court provides a sense of independence without
the risk
factors. A fully integrated Nursecall system linked to the care home
is
installed in each bungalow. Trained staff are on hand
24 hours a day
to respond to emergency calls. Laundry facilities are
provided to assist
in the daily housework activities, and these are situated
very close to
the bungalows for residents' convenience.
Residents of Redlands Court can enjoy other aspects

Acre. For example, they may choose to order meals which they can
take with
other residents of the home or have delivered to their door by
staff. They are also welcome to join in social activities and outings,
or
