Laurel Place

Laurel Place supports adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro-disabilities and physical disabilities.

It’s part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers.

The home provides complex nursing care from a team of trained Registered Nurses and Health Care Assistants.

Residents also have the support of Exemplar Health Care clinical experts, including Behaviour Support Practitioners, a Speech and Language Therapist and a Consultant Psychiatrist in times of crisis.

Laurel Place isn’t your typical residential care home or supported living service.

It supports people who are considered to have needs that are ‘too complex’ for mainstream care providers.

For example, residents often have a number of secondary diagnoses and complexities including behaviours of concern.

Laurel Place has 32 large bedrooms, each with an en-suite, and six single occupancy apartments across three communities. This provides a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to people’s needs.

Residents can personalise their bedroom if they wish.

The home also has communal dining and living spaces, sensory bathrooms as well as an activities hub, sensory room, therapy room and large accessible garden.

At Laurel Place, daily life is all about choice. Activities are personalised to people’s interests, hobbies and goals.

They focus on encouraging people to continue to do the things they enjoy, and enabling them to learn, volunteer and find new hobbies too if they wish.

The home has great community connections so people can remain part of their local area.
The home has an open-door policy and welcomes involvement from family and friends.
