Laurel Bank Care Home

Our approach to care

Laurel Bank Care Home offers individual quality care for the elderly including day care services, respite and dementia care. Further, the home was re-registered in summer 2021 to now welcome nursing residents.

Daily activities

The home has two full-time activity coordinators and boasts an impressive activity calendar. Residents can make use of the home's two treatment rooms, activity room and hairdressing salon. Laurel Bank also enjoys strong links with the local community and regularly invites groups and organisations to the home.

Menu

Our chef prepares a delicious menu of three meals a day plus snacks. Personal preferences and dietary requirements are fully catered for so that all residents look forward to mealtimes. There is also a kitchenette for visitors to enjoy.

Based in a small village, Laurel Bank Care Home has close links with the community, with visits form the local schools and as of recently a base for “Wilsden In Bloom”.

It is a modern property with 63 good sized single rooms, each of which boasts the luxury of an en-suite wet room. 

Staff at Laurel Bank do everything in their power to cater to the needs of each individual resident. This includes preparing home cooked meals on site on a daily basis and ensuring residents have the option whether to eat in one of the home's five dining rooms or in the comfort of their bedroom.

The home welcomes all religious dominations to ensure all those who stay with us can enjoy the same kind of activities that they did previously.

My name is Douglas Silveira, I am Brazilian, but the UK has been my home for about 16years.

I have over 25 years of experience working in the Healthcare sector in 3 different countries: Brazil, Portugal, and England (14 years).

Although I have worked in the healthcare sector for many years, I have a passion for psychotherapy, so I am studying MSc in Psychotherapy and counselling. I love learning and improving myself. I have a Psychology degree, 2 PGs and am now, studying for my MSc. I am sure all the years in the healthcare sector, plus my psychology and counselling skills, equipped me to do what I do. I have a lot of experience working with the elderly in care homes as a training manager, quality lead and home manager. I am friendly, approachable, and ethical. I love to get the job done! Helping the elderly feel loved, respected, and listened to, is my goal.

I identify myself with the Silverline values and mission and I believe these should be second nature for all those who wish to work in the healthcare sector. Love, Respect, and kindness for the elderly are my priority.
