Here is an update from Abberton on our summer news. We have welcomed our new home manager Kylie Vickery...
We have enjoyed lots of celebrations at Abberton this past couple of months. And with the sun finally shining,...
Abberton Manor has an enviable reputation for providing professional nursing care in a happy and friendly environment. It is highly rated for both the quality of its care and the warmth of its staff, many of whom have spent a number of years at the home.
The manor provides accommodation for just 26 residents in a comfortable, secure, relaxed, and homely environment in which their care, well being and comfort is of prime importance. The home offers both single and shared accommodation, the majority of which is en-suite, and all refurbished to a high standard. The home has been furnished with its Queen Anne origins in mind, and residents particularly enjoy the extensive lawns and gardens surrounding the manor.
Residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture and pictures to personalise their accommodation, but furniture can be supplied if preferred.
Two characterful lounges provide a warm, communal area for residents and their visitors to enjoy. Separate dining rooms promote meal times as a sociable activity. Family and friends are encouraged to visit at any time, and join in with the activities or mealtimes.
I have worked in the care sector for 19 years, am a registered nurse and have been a registered care manager for the last 4 years. I am passionate about ensuring all residents live life to the full and making each day the best and fulfilling as it can be.
Abberton specialises in End of Life Care and, has held the Gold Standard Framework Award for End of Life Care since 2017, and also the Best Community Engagement Award at Essex Care Awards.
The team have worked really hard to make the home one of the best within the area and achieved recognition by way of their many awards. Our roles in care are incredibly rewarding and being able to look after our residents and their families to the best of our ability is a privilege. The support forged by Abberton through the FaNs Network and the local community is also invaluable. It enables residents to live their lives to the full and to stay young at heart, with entertainment and the companionship from all generations.
Abberton is a warm and inviting home, in an enviable countryside location with wonderful gardens and a stunning manor house. We welcome family and friends to share in our day to day life and special events that are planned and delivered by our activities team and staff.
We have long-standing and dedicated nursing teams in our homes, with many years of professional experience between them. This has enabled us in a number of our homes to have achieved the highest accreditation for nursing care, the Gold Standard Framework.
Abberton Manor was awarded with the Gold Standards Framework in 2017 and also the Best Community Engagement Award at Essex Care Awards.
