The Laurels Residential and Nursing Home, Derby
 

Celebrations and events at The Laurels Nursing Home

We want to ensure all residents feel valued and involved, so we make every effort to celebrate important dates throughout the year.

Special days like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are particularly fun, allowing us to host themed events such as 1940s afternoon teas, or transforming our communal areas into a traditional pub with food and live music.

For our residents living with dementia, we regularly attend special dementia-friendly cinema screenings and a dementia café at The Derby Squad. This gives residents the chance to spend time with people outside the home.

The team at our Spondon nursing home is a fantastic asset and does so much to enrich our residents’ lives. We recently embarked on a 22-mile walk to raise money to put towards buying an experience table for our residents living with dementia called a Magic Table. Projecting light games onto a flat surface, the table is an amazing piece of technology that encourages residents to engage with one another through very simple but effective games.

Our residents love to take part in trips outside the residential and nursing home. For example, the team arranged an event on a boating excursion on ‘The Crusader’, which has been specially adapted by St John’s Ambulance to make it suitable for wheelchairs.

Pre-bookable Respite Care at The Laurels, Spondon

Pre-bookable respite care stays provide a fantastic option for caregivers to take a break from the high-pressure responsibility of caring full-time for a loved one. Respite breaks allow them to take time to recharge their batteries, while their loved one receives high-quality care and support.

Funding and pricing information for The Laurels Care Home

It is common for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their care home fees. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individually tailored to each of our residents, on the basis of the results of their pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed.

Our 2024 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1,023 and for nursing care £1,232 but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, ranging from standard rooms through to premium bedroom options.

*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.
