Bourn View Care Home in Bournville

Our New Bournville Care Home

Bourn View Care Home in Bournville opened in June 2017 and is one of the latest additions to Avery Healthcare’s portfolio of care homes. Avery is proud to be part of the Bournville Village Trust’s new development of community care for the elderly, and to be putting the high-quality Avery stamp on this care home in Bournville. We are now developing and implementing our Wellbeing programmes which will lead to all under our wing pursuing active and fulfilled lives in a luxury setting.

The home itself enjoys an elevated position overlooking a waterfall and stream and the Bournville Village. The sleek design of the building, with its stunning central curved roof, is quite distinctive, and the incorporation of floor-to-ceiling windows, together with doors that open out to the grounds make it light and sunny and very connected with the landscape.

An atrium is the focal point of each floor. Here there is a bistro cum café and a bar where residents, friends and families are encouraged to gather. There are four dining rooms and four intimate lounges, all furnished in a contemporary style with splashes of bold colour. The dining rooms lead out on to terraces, ideal spots for a relaxing aperitif before dinner or watching the world go by.

There is a separate memory care floor and a safe, enclosed rear garden. The gardens feature a gazebo, raised beds and potting shed –might there be cucumber sandwiches for tea and fresh mint with the potatoes then?

Each spacious bedroom comes fully furnished, has a TV and telephone point, heating controls and an en-suite wet room. Many of the ground floor rooms enjoy the extra benefit of opening out on to the gardens. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own mementoes and treasures as we fully recognise that being surrounded by familiar things can ease the transition from home to a home.

Pimms and Strawberries

The traditional Wimbledon accompaniment may have been a bit of a treat, but you can be sure that all our meals, which are cooked on the premises, are of high standard and as delicious as they are nutritious. The chef liaises with the local greengrocer and butcher to make sure that all ingredients are top-quality, fresh and seasonal.

Mealtimes are focal points of the day and we recognise the importance of making them well worth the wait and to be convivial occasions. We can cater for any special diets, and have ways of coaxing poor appetites along. Needless to say, we mark birthdays and anniversaries in time-honoured fashion and will be only too please if friends and families come along and join us.
