Care at
Davers Court

Residential care

Would your loved one benefit from moving to a warm and friendly home where they’ll enjoy constant care and attention? Everything we do at Davers Court is resident focused, we host activities that they’ll specifically enjoy such as cooking and musical activities. The team encourages residents to develop new friendships, even with residents at Glastonbury Court, our sister home which is nearby.

Respite care

Caring for an older loved one at home can be physically and emotionally challenging. Making time for yourself is vital to recharge. Our short-term respite care gives you the chance to have a holiday or to un-wind and take some time out. Is your loved one currently in hospital? We also provide convalescent care, supporting individuals to get back on their feet before moving back home.

End of life care

At Davers Court, we believe that every person deserves to experience a dignified and respectful end of life. We work with you and your loved one, as well as local health professionals and hospice teams, to plan your loved one’s care so they are as comfortable as possible, and wishes are arranged.

Day club

Do you care for your loved one at home, but would value some extra support? Our friendly day club which will be coming soon is run by experienced carers and is a supportive environment where older people can make new friends, enjoy a hot meal and do activities. We can even support with personal care if it’s something you find difficult to do at home. Whatever your loved one’s needs, we can help. 

Getting to know you

We take the time to get to know you and your loved one. This starts from our very first conversation. We get to know what will settle them when moving in, and everything about them. We learn all about your loved one’s life story and personality, so we know what will calm them and make them happy.

Dementia friendly environments

Our immediate surroundings can have a huge impact on our quality of life, particularly when trying to make sense of the world around us. We work with academic partners to create care home environments that help people living with dementia – this can be from colour palettes, textures, even to sounds played!

We also have our own Namaste practitioners who are trained to give relaxing massages in a relaxing environment to fully relax your loved ones.

Our people and training

We believe that our people make Davers Court a special place to be. Our people have been chosen for their attitude, dedication, and caring nature. Ian, our Dementia Champion, has trained all colleagues at Davers Court – and some relatives – to understand what it may be like to live with dementia.

Support for families and carers

We understand that a dementia diagnosis will affect more than just the individual. At Davers Court we’re here to support the family too. Seeing a loved one change can be a difficult and heart-breaking experience, so we are here if you need a listening ear or if you would like to know more about local support services.

Namaste care

We are proud to offer namaste care to residents living with advanced dementia. The purpose of namaste care is to give comfort and pleasure through sensory stimulation. Our namaste sessions are run by trained carers and involve individual caring touch, such as a hand or foot massages, music therapy, themed sensory and gentle movement sessions, or simply reminiscing.
