Finding the right care home for a loved one is a deeply personal decision, and Pear Tree House Care Home has quickly established itself as a trusted choice. Opened 18 months ago, this modern, welcoming home is run by the experienced Danforth Care Homes group, whose expertise is evident in every aspect of its design and operation. From the calming layout that puts dementia residents at ease to the thoughtful touches that create a true home-from-home atmosphere, Pear Tree House offers peace of mind for families and a vibrant, fulfilling life for residents.
Donna Marsden, the General Manager, brings over 35 years of experience in the care home sector. Always supported by a unit manager on duty and a team of highly trained, attentive staff, Donna ensures every resident receives exceptional care. “We make sure our staff are well trained regularly and thoroughly so we can offer great care,” Donna says. “We take pride in investing in our staff and in turn this reflects in the care we give our residents”.
Pear Tree House offers day care, respite, and permanent residency, with monthly open days inviting families to experience the warm environment firsthand. Residents and their families benefit from a range of enriching activities organised by the lifestyle team, who between them work seven days a week. From armchair exercises to outings twice a month, such as visits to garden centres or carveries, Pear Tree House ensures residents stay active and engaged. Events are not just for residents—community members are welcomed to join in too. Recent highlights include a dementia cinema, Great Gatsby night, Burns Night with a bagpiper in attendance, cocktail evenings and much more, these events regularly advertised on their website.
The care home features 66 well-appointed rooms with calming tones, each with a wet room, TV, fridge, and a roomy queen hospital-profile bed. Five of these are suites with added lounge areas and accessible baths. Communal spaces include four lounges, multiple quiet areas for family visits, and an inviting outdoor space for some rest and relaxation.
Fresh, locally sourced meals are prepared daily by the head chef and sous chef, with options for all dietary needs. Weekly hairdresser and chiropodist visits, as well as days out, are all included in the price. “We believe in keeping our residents active and independent,” says Donna. “I am always thinking of new ways we can enrich the lives of our dear residents.”
