Camelot House prides itself on its relaxed atmosphere and open and spacious communal areas. The home has undergone extensive refurbishment and has been designed to the highest standards. Set over two floors clear signage and colour-coded wings assist orientation and our dementia-friendly layout provides a safe environment for residents to explore and enjoy the many attractive features the home contains.
Residents can relax in the airy Willow Wing lounge that overlooks one of our colourful gardens, or enjoy the birdsong from our aviary in Albert Square. Plenty of natural light and three easily accessible gardens keep the home fresh and allows residents to enjoy plenty of sunshine and fresh air. The home has a small allotment where residents can grow flowers and vegetables and near this are chickens Essie and Rosaline. We also have two guinea pigs Brandy and Sherry, and a rabbit named Pudding.
All rooms are single with an accompanying ensuite. Residents are encouraged with the help of family and friends to personalise their rooms with small items of furniture, pictures and ornaments.
