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 care staff are on the whole very good they have the utmost patience and always treat my mum with great kindness and dignity. I am very impressed with the health care mum receives and the records kept regarding her ongoing health care. I do fin dit very annoying when mums clothing goes missing and have mentioned this several times. The laundry is very expensive but does offer a calm caring environment where I feel mum is safe.

It's her home and she loves it.
Our friend seems to be very well looked after at Acorn House by staff who are attentive, caring and sympathetic to her needs. She is sometimes quite confused but is successfully reassured by the carers there. She has a hearty appetite and enjoys all the food served to her.

Care homes are difficult places to keep clean and odour free when so many patients have problems. The Acorn House manager does a good job of it, though. Importantly for me, the staff are nice, friendly people and that counts for a lot. They seem to do more activities and trips out than many homes I have been to. I would recommend this home.
Mum stayed at Acorn House Care Home initially for respite care, and then as a permanent resident from January 2016 until she passed away in October 2016. During that time she was given excellent care by the staff of Acorn House.

Mum stayed at Acorn House Care Home initially for respite care, and then as a permanent resident from January 2016 until she passed away in October 2016. During that time she was given excellent care by the staff of Acorn House.
When she moved in permanently, she was able to personalise her room with her own furniture and pictures to make it feel like home. Lots of activities were on offer but she preferred to stay in her room and had her meals there. She enjoyed the food, and also her weekly visit to the in-house hairdresser. She also enjoyed the services held in Acorn House Care Home each week by a group of local churches.
A comprehensive care plan was put into place by Acorn House in consultation with Mum's GP, and this was followed through very carefully.
When Mum died peacefully in her sleep shortly before her 94th birthday, the staff treated Mum with the utmost respect and dignity, and also treated my wife and me with compassion as we arranged the funeral and cleared her room.
Care very good. Staff friendly and informative. Cleanliness excellent and facilities excellent. Overall very satisfied although expensive and giving up another £30 a week.

Staff on 2nd floor were excellent during my visit, not only with my mother but also to others staying there. The new guy was very pleasant and everyone seemed to get on making it a super place for my mum, who is 90 to stay. Thanks everyone

Many thanks for kind and invaluable feedback. It is much appreicated
The staff are very pleasant and helpful and look after my mother well but the staff change around so you don't always get a good continuity of care.

The staff are very pleasant and helpful and look after my mother well but the staff change around so you don't always get a good continuity of care. Because the staff don't always know the residents and the residents don't know the staff member, therefore they don't always know the residents needs, when you get dementia or parkinsons residents.
I am very pleased with the care and support given to my father and also with the regular activities at Acorn House which help to keep him stimulated. The entertainment's manager keeps us up to date with the activities he participates in and these include arts and crafts, bingo, and musical events....

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.
