FAQS

Our rates are affordable. Please enquire directly to the Manager for room prices.

Sadly we cannot accept any pets to live with us at Housman Court. But we can accept well-behaved visiting pets.

Your room at Housman will be fully furnished with a bed, armchair, wardrobe and a bedside cupboard or chest of drawers according to the size of the room. Any extra furniture would need to be agreed upon in advance with the Manager before moving in.

Any extra services such as a hairdresser or chiropodist are charged on top of the weekly fee. Often these are independently run businesses, so charges are independent of fees. We have a hairdresser that visits weekly and a chiropodist that visits every 6 weeks.

We have a safe to store any valuables. We can keep any personal allowance in the safe for you, with a financial tracking sheet filled in so that you can always clearly see your expenditure.

All laundry is washed, dried and ironed in-house. We ask where possible that all clothes are labelled clearly. If you need help with this please talk to our Housekeeping team.

You will be nominated a keyworker who will support you to purchase any items that you may need whilst staying at Housman. Our residents are often encouraged to go shopping with a member of staff to support them.

We certainly hope not! We encourage visits from your family, friends and neighbours. We can also place phone calls and video calls for you so that you can stay in touch with them regularly. We also allow visiting pets to the home so that you can see your four-legged friend regularly.

As long as they don’t need oxygen or peg feeding we can continue to meet their needs. Housman is a forever home, we provide palliative care and we have staff trained in End of Life care. We will always do our best to meet your care needs, however if the care required is more complex we would ask for a re-assessment of care needs to ensure that you are always receiving the best care possible at all times.
