Woodside
Specialist D/deaf Household
Woodside is a specialist household within Heanor Park Care Home which provides residential care for up to 12 older Deaf adults with additional care needs.
The impact that social isolation has for older Deaf adults in a hearing care home setting can have a detrimental effect on resident’s wellbeing and our mission is to reduce the impact. We also recognise the cultural needs of our Deaf residents by bridging the gap between the Deaf Community and Woodside. We aim to ensure that British Sign Language and Deaf Culture is rooted in the care we provide. All our staff are either native British Sign Language users or have minimum Level 2 (or working towards).

"When my mother went to live at Heanor Park Care Home, I don't think any of us realised just how very poorly she was. Three months on, and she is a different person. Surrounded by a team and genuine carers, with good food, the friendship of other residents, and a safe, warm, calm environment and the resources to recoversuch that she now plays an active part, at times able to give back for her new friends. As she put it - "this is Derbyshire, this is me, and I am very happy here"
