Real home environment

HammondCare's cottages reflect the recommendations of the Royal Commission and are designed to promote normality in everyday life.

This means having the flexibility to do what you want, when you want. Living in a small household, you are treated as an individual and supported to build strong, trusting relationships with your care team.

Family home kitchens

Family home kitchens

Through style and layout, HammondCare's homes help you know where you are, and see where you are going next.

Domestic kitchens are situated at the heart of the cottages, and have appliances you can recognise and use. This provides familiarity and comfort through the sights, smells, and sounds of cooking.

Clever, gentle design

Clever, gentle design

When you are experiencing symptoms of dementia, subtle features like paint colours and carpet patterns can help you stay calm.

HammondCare's cottages combine soothing colours with lots of natural light to help you feel at ease.

The cottages are also designed so the line of sight from each area helps you navigate easily around the home.

Normal sights and sounds

Normal sights and sounds

Unfamiliar sights and sounds in your own home can be unsettling - this effect is amplified by dementia. HammondCare's cottages are designed so what you see and hear is a normal home.

The safety features are unobtrusive, and utility rooms and clinical equipment is concealed to enhance the sense of home.

Your time, your choice

When it comes to how you spend your time, the decision is yours.

HammondCare doesn't have fixed activity schedules, and mealtimes are flexible. Your family and friends are welcome to visit at any time.

The cottages have a mix of shared living areas and quiet places to sit and relax, so you choose when to socialise with others or enjoy time to yourself.
