Capel Court Supported Housing Scheme
Capel Court is the Board's
purpose-designed Supported Housing Scheme situated in the Cotswold
village of Prestbury, which is three miles from the Regency town of
Cheltenham in Gloucestershire - this is a lovely area to live
and you can find out more about Cheltenham and the
Cotswolds on this link: http://www.cotswolds.info/places/cheltenham.shtml
The Scheme is a single-storey
building set in extensive grounds with 31 individual flats in a
warm, caring and friendly atmosphere. Seven double flats are
available for married couples and twenty-four flats for single
residents. Each flat has its own spacious patio area where
residents can enjoy the sunshine and attend to their own raised
flowerbeds.
As in all the Board's Supported
Housing Schemes, each flat at Capel Court has a lounge with
en-suite kitchenette facilities, together with a bedroom and
bathroom with shower. The flats are centrally heated and double
glazed and there is weekly support for those who need help to clean
their accommodation. A laundry room is provided for personal
washing.
As the accommodation is
unfurnished, residents are expected to bring their own furniture
for the flat to make the surroundings as familiar and comfortable
as possible.
In addition to their own private
accommodation, residents have the benefit of communal facilities,
such as the spacious dining room overlooking the grounds. Three
main meals a day are served, with a choice of daily menu. Special
dietary needs can be catered for.
Capel Court has a Manager and
dedicated team of staff to ensure that the needs of all the
residents are met at all times. Each flat is also fitted with a
care-call system for any emergencies that may arise, day or
night.
Regular services are held in the
Chapel at Capel Court. There are also several churches in the
vicinity where residents can worship as part of the parish
community.
Prestbury village is within five
minutes' walk of Capel Court. It has a Post Office and newsagent, a
bank, a general store, and a pharmacy. The local library, adjacent
to the grounds, offers a choice of reading material and there is a
small grocery shop opposite: on weekdays buses leave regularly for
the centre of Cheltenham and return to a stop just opposite Capel
Court. There is also an excellent local taxi service. Cheltenham is
a very attractive spa town with a wide range of shops, including
most of the national stores. It hosts many arts and music festivals
as well as the famous Cheltenham Racing Festival in the Spring.
Community life at Capel Court
includes a Bible study and art group, musical evenings and exercise
classes. Monthly day trips are organised by the residents
themselves to destinations such as Painswick and Bishops Cleeve.
There are also good road and rail links to Prestbury for visitors
or those residents who wish to travel further afield.
We have produced a DVD that brings
to life what is on offer at the Board's seven Supported Housing
Schemes and Care Home (with Nursing): click here for details of the
