As Legislation has been passed over the years, requirements have improved for the comfort of the Residents, not more than two people can be in one room, and the number has been reduced to 43. Shortly after Northolt House had settled down, another piece of land became available in Boston Road Hanwell, and plans for a larger Home with up to 67 Residents were laid. This became Hanwell house and was opened in 1964 and which is our Registered Office. As with Northolt House, Legislation has forced us to reduce the number of Residents, which now number 52. Ealing council are our Mortgagees.
Many Residents have a room to themselves.
The staffing ratio has been laid down by the law and a certain number of staff must be on waking duty every night. The Residents have three meals a day with light refreshments at other times. The staff include Cooks, Cleaners, Carers and a Handyman at each Home. The staff are trained in every aspect of care. Both Homes have a well-equipped laundry run by our own staff.
