At Prestbury Court we have two dining rooms and residents’ lounges where various activities take place or can be used for quiet reading and some private family time. Our conservatory room opens on to a large outdoor patio area, furnished with tables, chairs and sun umbrellas which gives fine views over the surrounding countryside.

The patio leads to a large mature and sheltered garden with shaded seating areas, a summer house as well as a semi-covered area where residents can enjoy sitting on less sunny days and perhaps enjoy a cream tea. The gardens have several wide and gentle pathways which can be easily accessed both on foot and with a wheelchair, ensuring that all residents can enjoy the garden. We also have a well stocked fish pond.

At Prestbury Court we have our very own polytunnel, which many of our residents enjoy using to plant seedlings, grow tomatoes or just to lend our gardener a helping hand.

When new residents come to Prestbury Court (or any of the Avens Care Homes), we are very keen that they should feel at home as soon as possible. As such we are more than happy for residents to bring items with them that may help them to continue with hobbies and past-times – whether it is an artist’s easel, their own furniture or even a garden shed!

In 2005, as part of our newly built wing, we incorporated a very special ‘sensory room’, which allows residents to enjoy a relaxing and calming setting.
