Supported Housing - Hammond Court

Friendship, good food, lots to do, cleanliness, peace and quiet, home comforts, competent and kind staff; the list of desirable features for any supported accommodation can grow and grow.

At Hammond Court we certainly have all the above and pride ourselves in making new tenants feel at home and of course we have a wonderful history of over 200 years in caring for people with poor sight.

Currently our tenants range in age from early 20’s right through to their 90’s with varying levels of both sight and learning difficulties.

Our Facilities For You

At Hammond Court we endeavour to ensure you feel at home and valued. The buildings are modern, well appointed and make delightful homes.

Facilities Include

Accommodation

Hammond Court offers modern purpose built 17 ground floor and 3 first floor flats with both single and double rooms for couples. You can cook for yourself, eat with fellow tenants or have lunch brought to you. Our chef’s meals really are excellent.

Some flats have individual gardens which gives tenants that extra ability to imprint your own personality on your home.

Security

Our wardens take a keen interest in the general welfare of the tenants and with CCTV and door entry system on our site you have the confidence of Òfeeling safeÓ. The wardens visit each tenant everyday.

Independent Living

When one has sight difficulties some aspects of life can be difficult but with Hammond Court you can still retain your independence secure in the knowledge that wardens and even more specialist help is but a push button or telephone call away.

With Thomas Tawell House (our residential home) next door, there is every opportunity to make friends, join classes for computing, keep fit, craft or simply continue life as before but with the peace of mind and security of knowing that others are close by to help if needed.

General Recreation

A lively social programme is pursued and activities include crafts, games and musical entertainment as well as regular outings for general enjoyment in our own mini bus.

Whilst we strive to ensure a full programme of activities, there are of course our large delightful gardens with mature trees, landscaped flower beds and in the summer months our scented roses, to be enjoyed on lazy, restful afternoons.

Christian Worship

A Chaplain visits whenever requested. He also celebrates Holy Communion every month.

Library and Equipment Centre

As we are specialists in the care of people with poor sight we have a well stocked library of recorded books, shows and music to suit all tastes as well as an internet cafe. Our Equipment and Information Centre is staffed by knowledgeable, helpful people. The latest daily living aids are available to help people enjoy a better quality of life.
