Queensferry Court is temporarily closed for an extensive refurbishment, opening in Spring 2024
We are thrilled to announce that Queensferry care home will be undergoing an extensive refurbishment! The refurbishment project highlights our commitment to providing the highest quality in all aspects of care for our valued residents.
While the refurbishment takes place, Queensferry care home shall be temporarily closed and all our current residents have been relocated to our latest refurbished home Nightingale care and nursing home in the interim.
This is an exciting and positive development for Queensferry care home and we eagerly await the reopening in Spring 2024, where we look forward to welcoming our residents back to our beautifully renovated home.
Care home facilities
We’ve created a relaxed and homely environment for all our residents.
We have a comfortable, spacious lounge and dining room so residents can enjoy the best of community life, whenever they choose. There’s plenty of space for group activities, or somewhere to find a quieter spot.
With free Wi-Fi and iPads available, reaching the internet or staying connected to loved ones is made simple.
The garden & activities
We have a lovely garden with a large lawn and flowerbeds. It is a great spot for BBQs and garden parties in the summer. We believe it’s important to be able to access nature, both for mental and physical stimulation, and doing this is easy and safe in our secure grounds.
We like to provide variety for our residents, so the activity schedule reflects that. We welcome all sorts of musical entertainers, and other activities include:
- Exercise classes
- Arts and crafts
- Manicures, beauty treatments, and hairdressing
- Bingo
- Baking and then eating!
Visits are always enthusiastically welcomed, following our safety protocol.
The bedrooms
Queensferry Court offers 56 single bedrooms for people living there, situated on both the ground floor and first floor.
Before a new resident arrives we like to find out about their likes and dislikes, so we can arrange their bedroom in a welcoming way.
In addition to this, once they’re here we encourage residents to personalise their rooms with their own photos and furniture.
Personal possessions help residents feel at home and provide extra stimulation and time for reminiscence.
It’s our priority that Queensferry Court is a home from home.
Staff training
All our staff go on an intensive three-day Agincare induction and training before starting at Queensferry Court.
We’ve worked hard to build strong relationships with our local social care and health professionals – from district nurses, occupational therapists, GPs, and social workers, through to council safeguarding teams.
Food & nutrition
Good, wholesome home-cooked food is essential at a care home. We have an experienced chef who prepares traditional home-cooked meals. Their homemade cakes and biscuits are always popular! Our cooks always ask for feedback from our residents, and are more than willing to adapt menus.
Mealtimes are really important to us. We encourage our residents to eat together as there are so many social and nutritional benefits. However, people can choose to eat their meals in private too, if they prefer. If the weather’s warm enough, we might eat outside.
We also encourage families to come and join their loved ones for meals.
