Conifers

Each guest room is a bright, positive space where individuals can feel safe, cared for and supported. Our guests are encouraged to make their room their own during their stay by bringing favourite items such as family photographs. This helps to promote a feeling of calmness and security.

Following an individual assessment, a detailed care plan with up-to-date information, including risk assessment, is put together by our team. Our care plans are then shared with the individual, their family and carer for verification and agreement. Care plans are viewed and amended as necessary at each future visit and reviewed formally every six months.

“We can fully relax in the knowledge that our son is happy, safe and well cared for.”Parent

Conifers is situated in Borrowash, with excellent transport links to Derby and Nottingham. For the individuals in our care it’s an ideal location, providing many amenities – from shops and places of interest to leisure centres. We are located approximately five miles from Derby train station.

We want the individuals in our care to enjoy their break with us. That’s why we offer a variety of activities for our guests to enjoy and to choose from. These include community outings, group activities, sensory therapy, 1:1 activities or just relaxing indoors by listening to music.

Individuals are welcome to visit Conifers with their family or carers to familiarise themselves with the environment and meet with members of our team before their stay.
