Orchard House Care Home

ORCHARD HOUSE CARE HOME –WHERE OUR FAMILY CARES FOR YOUR FAMILY

Situated in a pleasant residential area of Wisbech, Orchard House Care Home is purpose-built and carefully designed to support our residents to live happy, fulfi lled, and comfortable lives.

We off er bespoke meaningful and person centred, residential dementia, nursing, and end of life care on a short term, long term, or respite basis, where we care for your family like one of our own.

What sets us apart at Orchard House is that there is never a dull moment! With a varied and vibrant social lifestyle on off er, there is always something for everyone with recent activities including glamourous fashion shows, armchair aerobics, and karaoke sessions. Residents have also enjoyed keeping the garden in full bloom, perfect for all of the BBQs we enjoy. Heather, a resident from Orchard House, says: “Many good carers, real aff ection and interested. Looked after me kindly while I had fun.”

Orchard House is a home from home. You can spend time in our bright and relaxing social lounges, where you can take part in daily activities or spend time with friends and loved ones. Our dining room is perfect for enjoying our freshly and lovingly prepared daily menus and all bedrooms are beautifully decorated and homely.

We are very proud of the great links we have within our local community. Earlier this year, we welcomed students from the College of West Anglia across a range of departments – students on construction and decorating courses volunteered their time to help spruce up the garden and home, and a team of hair and beauty students provided glamourous Hollywood makeovers to residents for a recent ‘movie’ themed fashion show where our residents hit the catwalk themselves.

We are so grateful for the support we’ve received from our local community, families, and friends during the global pandemic. From staff at the local college making masks, to posters and banners created by our extended family, the support has come from all ages, including Eden Rose, aged four, who wanted to lift our spirits during this diffi cult time.

Eden’s Aunt Sarah, our deputy manager, explained: “She spent many hours sat at her drawing desk completing these posters, she also stands outside clapping with her xylophone every Thursday to show her appreciation to all the keyworkers!”

We’ve also been supported by our local ‘Blue Light Heroes’, especially our local Fire Service who joined us for #ClapForCarers on Thursdays.

Family is the beating heart of Orchard House, and during these past few months we’ve ensured that our residents and their loved ones have been kept connected with regular FaceTime and Skype sessions and have also created our own bi-weekly magazine. Registered manager Maxine Bain said:“We have wonderful links with our families, and during these last few months, because we’ve put such an emphasis on making sure our residents and families have stayed connected, they are now even stronger!”

Kerry Bell, the daughter-in-law of a resident at Orchard House, praised the care her mother-in-law has received: “The change in my mother-in-law in less than a week is nothing short of amazing. She has dementia and was not eating or drinking properly, not talking, not walking without assistance and just slept all day. The care she has received is exceptional. Her room is homely but functional. She eats and drinks everything. She is talking all the time, she’s awake all day and walking with a stick. She truly has a new lease of life and I put it all down to the amazing care she has received at Orchard House.”
