Assisted Living
Modern in style and with views of both our gardens and neighbouring paddocks. Not only do our assisted living pods have strong visual appeal but more practically they enhance the level of care provision that our service can offer – following our long standing ethos of care; to maximise independence.
The units provide an excellent alternative to couples either or both of which might require full time care.
Often this is provided in the majority by the partner with minimal support from home care which is generally considered the bare minimum and often takes a great toll on the carer partner.
‘The Pods’ would provide the same level of care as those residents within our home and provide an excellent alternative to traditional residential care.
They also allow couples to stay together longer and in more favourable circumstances with the care work taken on by our highly trained and supervised on site care staff.
Residents within the pods are able to enjoy the activities and facilities within the care home as well as have the independence of having their own unit which would comprise of a kitchen, lounge bathroom and bedroom.
All of which are fitted with the latest adaptations for our client group, as well as an acoustic (listening) call bell system linked with the existing system within the home.
They also have the peace of mind of having on site 24 hour a day 365 days a year care support that is covered by CCTV that is observed throughout the night.
Residents can also opt to have meals delivered from the care home or eat within our dining room.
For potential residents this solution allows freer use of their capital as significant amounts would not be tied into a sheltered housing scheme which with market saturation with these developments as it is, are difficult to sell, and often do not provide the level of 24 hour close care and support that can be offered within a formal care environment such as Avon Lee Lodge.
Our pricing structure for the pods allows us to get very close to social services funding for double occupancy, i.e. married couples providing an excellent resource for the entire community.
Acoustic monitoring
Each assisted living unit has an optional acoustic monitoring system, as well as a pendant alarm.
Acoustic monitoring alert
When the intelligent system hears a sound above the normal threshold our care staff are alerted.
Acoustic monitoring station
As well as alerting the carers handheld devices, the monitoring station can hear the previous 20 seconds of audio, the carer on station can then dispatch care if required, or even talk to our residents within their room.
Contemporary Design
With a fresh modern design and amenities to match, our pods are an exciting and innovative approach to those seeking residential care.
Induction Hob for Safety
The use of the kitchen is individually assessed and can be completely switched off if necessary. The fire systems are fully integrated into the home and monitored 24 hours a day.
Fully airconditioned
In order to maximise comfort the pods come equipped with underfloor heating in the wet room, and air conditioning units in both the living space and bedroom.
Luxury Living
The units offer the latest adaptations for independent living.
Perfect setting.
The units have level access and a variety of landscaped areas to enjoy within the Burton conservation area. Additional security and peace of mind is provided by the use of nightly monitored CCTV systems covering all doors and pathways.

“My Wife and I stayed for me to receive respite care and for control of my morphine requirement which was successfully received. All the staff were caring and immediately responsive. The quality of the accommodation and its care were exceptional.”
