Abbey Wood Court

Abbey Wood Court is a care home in Retford, Nottinghamshire, with 62 bedrooms spread over two floors, all reached by lift. Residents are encouraged to make their own choices, and each has an individual care plan that is drawn up with them and reviewed regularly. Hairdressing, chiropody, optician and dentist visits are arranged around residents, and local GPs and district nurses call at the home to work alongside its own trained care team. Nursing is available on site around the clock.

Bedrooms are fully furnished, and residents may bring personal belongings and small pieces of furniture. Each room has views over the gardens, and several larger rooms can be shared by two residents. Meals are cooked on the premises from fresh produce sourced from local suppliers, follow the seasons, and can be adapted to individual dietary needs. In fine weather, residents often eat on the patio or in the garden, and the home serves morning coffee, afternoon tea and evening drinks.
