Reviews & Ratings
Don't just take our word for it
Orchard House is a safe friendly environment, the residents are treated with respect and patience. The staff are always on hand and always smiling. It's nice to see the same friendly faces each week and great comfort to know familiar faces are caring for my father. Dad seems very settled here which is a must for us. He gets regular drinks and snacks and has free movement on the top floor which allows him to still be mostly independent. There are plenty of activities to get involved will and weekly updates on the schedule. A nice care home.
Relative of Resident
Orchard House is a very pleasant care home, always clean and fresh. The staff are amazing and my stepdad is very well looked after. The food given looks good and well presented. I have had no problems at all. Any concerns are dealt with immediately if we have any.

Activities & events
Supporting our residents to enjoy every day living at Orchard House is a key focus for our dedicated team.
By getting to know each person, we are able to tailor our activities and events to their likes and dislikes as well as activities they may like to try.
No two days are the same here and, alongside our usual daily hobby-based activities, we also like to host events which are a little out of the ordinary.
In addition to art therapy, keeping fit with our chair-based exercises, baking, and quizzes. We also take great pleasure in welcoming visiting entertainers, schools and groups to our home to enjoy spending time with our residents.
Our team and residents also love pottering around the local garden centre, taking in a movie at the cinema and getting dressed up for our themed days throughout the year – complete with themed menus and decorations!
Dementia-friendly activities
Our team takes a considered approach to dementia-friendly activities and meaningful engagement – supporting our residents who live with dementia to still experience happiness, comfort and contentment.
With a deep knowledge of people’s life histories, we are able to encourage positive reminiscence and create a safe and supportive environment where people feel comfortable taking part in both familiar and new activities, trips and events.
Food & nutrition
We are proud of the high quality of our meals here at Orchard House which are carefully designed to be enjoyable whilst providing balanced nutrition to our residents.
They are lovingly cooked and prepared by our in-house catering team and follow the seasons.
Regularly rotating menus ensure we always have meals which cater to our residents’ likes and dislikes, including those who require modified or specialist diets.
