Acorn House is a purpose-built residential care home in the community of Carrington, Nottingham, and specialises in dementia care. The spacious interiors and homely decorations complement the work of professional carers and create a calming, homely atmosphere.
Ensuite rooms and landscaped gardens delight residents and their families, and they also have an on-site cafe to enjoy. Health and wellbeing are a priority, and the Activities Coordinators work with residents and families to develop an exciting programme of activities and events tailored to personal interests.
Residents and staff go out into the community, and the community is invited into the home, to build positive relationships and enable social inclusion for residents. They also offer many intergenerational activities so residents can engage with all age groups, from toddlers to college students.
All care is delivered in a bespoke way, with passion, empathy, and enthusiasm at the centre of every decision. Carers understand the importance of person-centred care, and the residents' needs and preferences are placed at the centre of their care.
Acorn House provides choices at mealtimes for all residents and takes great pride in the dining experience. The kitchen team takes personal preferences and nutritional needs into account and works hard to offer a wide range of healthy, tasty options for residents.

The staff at Acorn House were very friendly but proffesional from the moment we arrived. They took care of Mum like she was one of their own. Mum was taken out on several escorted trips that she enjoyed immensely. The food was good and they would always make her a cup of tea when she wanted one. I can't thank them enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure having your mum stay with us. We are so glad she enjoyed the trips out and will pass along your compliments to our kitchen staff.
The home is very welcoming, the staff have all been caring and, in a very honest way, helped Ken settle in from the very first day he came in. The staff have been supportive of our needs for Ken from day 1. And most importantly, Ken has settled.

Thank you for your lovely, honest review. We are pleased that Ken settled so quickly and that he continues to feel comfortable in his new home.
My father has been a resident for a few months now and has been well looked after.
He has suffered a stroke and has been helped in his recovery by various staff members.
He has been able to discuss any concerns directly with the floor manager and they are quickly resolved.

Caring for my Mum recently has become quite challenging. I only have praise for the support and advice from all floor staff, particularly the floor manager and reception. Everyone has shown kindness and understanding to Mum and responded to my concerns with similar understanding and a sprinkling of much-needed humour! Staff are always professional, available to discuss difficult issues and work with us to find positive solutions.

The staff go above and beyond for my grandmother's needs. The areas are clean and tidy and very well maintained. I have eaten at the residence and the food is wonderful. The activities are fantastic. So much to do and the staff really get the residents involved and cater to everyone's distinct and separate needs. The reception staff are extremely helpful. Overall there's no other place I'd want my grandma

Welcome to Acorn House!
I have been working in the sector for the past 20 years following the death of my father in 2001. While he was receiving palliative care at home I have been looking after him. My passion was always in care and making a difference no matter how big or small it was. After spending 12 years in 24-hour nursing care, I decided to move to residential care.
I came to work for Acacia Care 7 years ago and I have held many positions within the company from Night Manager, Care Manager, Home Manager and Regional Support Manager to my now current role as General Manager. I feel very honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity to manage Acorn House and I hope my work and the work of the team will make a difference in the lives of our residents and their families.
