Care at Green Acres Nursing Home

The team at Green Acres Nursing Home in Leeds is headed up by Denise Spencer, who manages the nurses and carers, all of whom take pride in their work and are trained to various levels, ensuring all grades of staff reach their professional potential whilst transferring their knowledge into the care they provide. Staff speak a variety of languages to assist with communication with residents, including English, Chewa, Hindi and Tagalog.

Facilities at Green Acres Care Home

All rooms at Green Acres are single – with arrangements available for couples – and come with an ensuite toilet and sink. Internet connection is available throughout the centre for residents and family to use. 

To help make the transition easier and ensure Green Acres feel like home, residents can bring their own furniture, but they must first pass a risk assessment. Pets are welcome to visit, while the facility itself has a resident-friendly feline named Henry!

With menus seasonally adapted, the fully trained staff use modern kitchen facilities to provide nutritionally balanced meals for residents where a variety of dietary considerations need to be made. 

Hygiene is also of the utmost importance to staff when dealing with residents’ food and fresh, local ingredients are sourced from quality suppliers.

A daily schedule is created by the full-time activities coordinator to help keep residents active and stimulated. Activities include bingo, arts & crafts, afternoon films, quizzes and baking, to name a few. In addition to this, trips to local attractions such as shops, public houses and churches are arranged, along with regular visits from a professional chiropodist, a hairdresser and a local vicar.

Live music is organised by our staff to engage and entertain residents, and notable dates in the calendar are marked with activities and celebrations, including Christmas, Easter, St Patrick’s Day and birthdays.
