Gorseway Manor Care Home, Hayling Island, Hampshire
Our Hayling Island care home is at the heart of Gorseway Park’s residential community, set within four acres of beautiful parkland.
Gorseway Park is a retirement village that gives options for healthy retirement living, comprising independent leasehold apartments, the traditional Manor Care Home and the purpose built Gorseway Nursing Home all on the same site.
A £1.3m refurbishment has brought up to the high standards expected of all our care and nursing homes.
Our Hayling Island care home has been designed with your loved one’s comfort and needs in mind. We encourage our residents to bring their special possessions to personalise their rooms and make them more homely.
Once our residents arrive, our carers welcome them with open arms to make them feel at home immediately.
About our home
Our Hayling Island residential care home is furnished to the highest standards.
We want our care home residents to feel secure while enjoying a friendly, homely and comfortable environment. Residents can enjoy leisure time alone or meet new people at our communal lounge, which offers plenty of space for solo or group activities.
In terms of communication, our residential care home has Wi-Fi and we provide iPad tablets for residents so they can call their loved ones via Skype or other messaging apps. Visitors can also bring their devices and connect to the Internet to show loved ones photos and videos or to play games.
Comfortable bedrooms and communal rooms
Our Hayling Island care home has 32 en-suite bedrooms, some of which can accommodate couples. Five luxury suites have lounge areas, bedroom and bathroom.
Residents are free to personalise their rooms with their furniture or mementoes. By adding their possessions, they can create a familiar and cosy environment. This also gives our staff better insight into the resident’s history and what matters to them.
The care home features a number of communal rooms that can be enjoyed with other members of the community. There is a TV room/lounge and a sun-lounge used by leaseholders from the Gorseway community to relax and socialise.
There is also an iconic ballroom that has been painstakingly restored to its former glory from which residents can enjoy delicious meals freshly prepared by our chefs. The ballroom is also perfect for dancing the night away!
The garden
We’re very proud of our lovely landscaped gardens. Our lake is beautiful, with a stunning water feature and Koi carp.
There are lawned areas and a patio overlooking the beach where residents can join in outdoor activities or simply enjoy being outside.
Staff training
All our staff go on an intensive three-day Agincare induction and training before starting at Gorseway.
We use an online care planning tool to give our staff immediate real-time access to residents’ likes, dislikes and care information on a handset.
Our care workers can easily keep track of a resident’s day, including medication, repositioning, hydration and how much they’ve eaten.
Food and 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.
