Show more "Opened in April 1987 and the youngest of the buildings on the nine acres of parkland estate, The Paddock is situated opposite MHA's care home, The Meadow and adjacent to a tennis club. “We are one big happy family here,” writes one tenant. “We play darts, skittles, bowls, quoits, bingo, bagatelle, Jenga and scrabble on weekdays from 3 to 5pm. On Saturdays in the lounge we have films on our huge plasma TV. A hairdresser comes every Thursday and a chiropodist comes here about every four to five weeks.While tenants are encouraged to live as independently as possible (some with the assistance of a carer or a cleaner) a supportive interest is always there from the Scheme manager. As well as giving a morning call to each resident to check that they are OK, the manager’s ability to deal with medical emergencies, plumbing crises and the small print on tricky forms is immensely appreciated. Residents now speak of a “home from home” and a place where they have benefited from “letting go of responsibilities and finding contentment.”" Show less
