Services

Two Cedars has a visiting chiropodist who attends residents every 6 weeks. Our chiropodist is highly skilled and gives practical advice regarding foot care and appropriate footwear. Residents are welcome to employ their own chiropodist if they prefer. Payment for chiropody visits are placed on the monthly sundries bill.

Two Cedars employs a hairdresser who visits every Monday. The hairdresser will also attend residents at other convenient times when necessary. The hairdresser is highly skilled and provides professional, courteous service in the comfort of the home. Payment for hairdressing services are also invoiced on the monthly sundries bill.

Residents are welcome to use a dentist of their choice. However, we have found that the surgery in York Road is the most accessible locally. Appointments can be made by telephone.

A mobile library service is provided to the home every 3 weeks by Broadstone library. Books, audio tapes and CD’s are provided and residents are able to choose from a wide range of titles.

Local newsagents provide a daily service delivering newspapers and magazines as requested by residents. Newsagents invoice residents directly on a monthly basis.

The local Church of England vicar attends Two Cedars on a monthly basis to provide Holy Communion or celebrate important dates in the religious calendar. Residents from other denominations will be assisted to attend the church or place of prayer of their choice.

Residents who require transport and are wheelchair users can access a wheelchair taxi service privately. The telephone number is available from the office.

Residents are welcome to attend organised shopping trips with members of staff and trips to garden centres or shopping centres can be arranged accordingly.

Two Cedars provides highly trained staff who are willing to provide assistance with personal care needs and day to day activities of daily living. All necessary equipment is provided.

The lounge is also open to visitors and leads onto a patio with a mature magnolia tree, providing access to half an acre of beautiful gardens, flower beds for residents to enjoy, especially during the summer.
