Chrissian House was established in 1974 and is registered to care for 22 elderly residents. The name was formed from the previous owners two sons ‘Chris and Ian’. Converted from two detached houses, it stands in its own extensive grounds, with the garden area surrounded by flowers and mature trees.
In 1990 the home was extended via converting a detached house next to the main building (annexe). Both houses have their own kitchen, dining area and lounge with a conservatory where residents can participate in daytime activities such as table games and puzzles. The home offers a happy, warm, friendly family atmosphere and environment.
Chrissian Residential Home Ltd has been built and furnished to a high standard. The home is situated on one of the main roads leading to the eastern side of the town in a residential suburb. Local buses run every 20 minutes to the town centre, with hairdressers, a Spar shop and fruit and vegetable stores as well as many others in the vicinity of the home.
A Church Service is held at the home. All other denominations are encouraged to visit the home. If you require assistance to maintain contact with your desired faith/religious service, please discuss this with the manager. Holy Communion is held in the home the first Monday of the month.
Chrissian House provides residential care for both genders of any age.
The home's aim is to give the resident the opportunity to live as members of a local community in ways which are accepted as normal and valued, allowing for full use of a range of local facilities, for example: - shops, cafes and sports centres. Hopefully in time the residents will also become part of their local community. All staff recognise and promote residents' rights, privacy, dignity, care and respect.
There is CCTV in place for communal areas - this is for the safety of staff, service users and visitors, and they have a CCTV and SARS policy in place.

We visit daily and notice that the care and attention is across all the residents. The environment is so homely, the food is perfect and adapted if a resident needs help - the chef even peeled the skin off sausages for my mum. Thankyou for looking after my mum so well!
The care my aunty received was very good, The overall setting decoration needs a some updating, but cannot fault the staff for the care and attention to detail, My Aunty improved significantly because of the care she received.

Having met all the staff, I am so grateful and impressed with them all, especially the manager, she was superb.
The lunch meal and decor is so accommodating, the other residents all seemed so happy with everything going on. The activities planned for the next week are excellent, with something for everyone. If I end up in a residential home, I hope it's this one.
All the staff and management are passionate about providing the best possible care in a challenging environment.

I wish to express the excellent care he is receiving and the improvements in his quality of life. It's extremely homely/friendly, relaxing and calm and care is prompt and an excellent standard. His mobility and confidence have improved and now goes to the shops by himself. He's regained happiness;...
His appearance has improved, and his social worker commented on how much happier/healthier and content he has become.
He is like his old self, he loves the companionship, conversations, and new relationships he's making. Lastly, which makes it more homely - the owners are very involved and there regularly. I think it makes it a homelier/family feeling, it has been owned by the same family for a long time, I think 40 years and they do go above and beyond for all.
He is very well cared for, very happy, and feels he is at home from home - Thank You.

Chrissian is a friendly Home, and staff have always gone above and beyond to make my father feel included and cared for. When we visit, even though they are busy, they do what they can to move things around so we can sit in a quiet area with him. The latest manager has even noticed new things that no-one has spotted before, which should help him to be more comfortable. It's good to feel like staff care as much for your loved one's wellbeing as you do.
My dad has been a resident at Chrissian House for over two years. He is settled, comfortable and happy to be there. The staff are all very friendly and nothing seems to be too much trouble. He enjoys being out in the garden.

The home lacks what other homes in the area offer in way of facilities and outings to activities available in the area. I have a friend who has a resident in another home which offers vastly enhanced features and outings etc. such as organised visits to the coast and theatres etc.
