Penhill Residential Home
Penhill Residential Home is a small, family-run home offering unparalleled personal care to elderly ladies and gentlemen, located in the village of Shirehampton on the southern edge of Bristol. It is ideally suited to those who value a ‘home from home‘ experience. Penhill offers a spacious and homely environment with excellent staff who strive to provide the highest standards of care and always offer a truly warm and friendly welcome.
On arrival you will notice that the team treat everyone with the love, respect and kindness that we all wish for our own families.
We offer both respite and long-term care for up to 18 older persons and carers aim to provide a caring and stimulating environment that respects and upholds dignity, privacy and independence as well as recognising individual needs and wishes. Our ethos is to support and encourage those in care to maintain independence and community involvement and, for this reason, we hold weekly forum meetings to allow residents to contribute to decisions made about the service provided.
We also provide a wide range of activities, social events and outings.
Penhill Residential Home is situated close to many local amenities, shops, community links, library, churches, and bus and rail connections. The home is easily accessible by car within close proximity of the M5 motorway and ample parking facilities.
All rooms are decorated and furnished to the highest standard to provide a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the company of others or find a quiet place to read or listen to music.
Our bedrooms are spacious, professionally decorated and furnished with solid wood fixtures & fittings. Rooms have en-suite facilities to provide comfort and privacy. A flat screen television and a telephone is also available in all rooms. Should residents wish to utilise our telephone system they will have immediate connection to dial outside numbers and we will provide them with a number from which friends and family will be able make direct contact. All rooms have a call point where our staff are on hand to assist with personal care. Unlike many large homes, all calls are answered instantly by one of our care team. Residents rooms are fitted with thermostatically controlled radiators for their choice and comfort.
Penhill Residential Home has a lounge in which residents tend to congregate in the daytime where a large screen HD television is located. The room has a homely standard of interior design, classically styled with wooden beams and an open log fire as the focus. This is lit throughout the winter and on particularly cold days in the surrounding seasons.
The dining room provides another option for residents during the daytime. As well as serving as a dining room it is often host to our wide range of daytime activities, should any residents wish to participate. The dining room opens out to a patio with a large seating area and a range of potted plants. In the summer months this makes a shady retreat where residents can enjoy the sunshine.
The conservatory offers an alternative quiet day room and a view over Penhill’s gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn surrounded by flower borders. A large fishpond is the focal point of the garden, with a collection of large Koi Carp and water plants. From the conservatory, there is a south facing view over the River Avon across to the village of Pill and surrounding areas.
This is a favourite place for residents to watch the sunset on summer evenings. Our gardens are well maintained and accessible for all residents to enjoy with spacious lawn areas providing both sun and shade during the summer months for any who wish to sit out and enjoy the surroundings.
A lift provides access to all floors, giving freedom to all our facilities regardless of mobility.
Penhill Residential Home is committed to ensure easy access by all people to all areas of the home, we have ramps, handrails, walking aids and wheel chairs available to anyone who wishes to use them within the home.
