We make health happen

Here at Bupa we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, supporting independence and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives. Church Farm Care Home offers residential care including respite, convalescence and day care. The former farmhouse has been converted to provide every modern convenience while retaining features like oak beams and fireplaces. Church Farm has a very homely feel. There are lots of places to relax at the home. Residents can get hair and nails done, settle into an armchair with a good book or catch up with loved ones in one of the lounges. Church Farm has absolutely wonderful gardens. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to sit and take in the fresh air and sunshine, including the large patio area and a wooden gazebo. The home has a hairdresser on site and is pet‑friendly too. The chef prepares delicious meals and snacks for residents to enjoy in the social dining area or in the comfort of their own room. Food menus are regularly assessed to suit preference and diet, prepared using fresh local produce, and even marked special occasions like birthdays. Fish and chip Fridays are a strong favourite! The home provides regular themed meals that align with the seasons, or to encourage a variety of cuisines. The superb location offers tranquillity in the midst of plenty to do in the local area. Family and friends are always welcome, whether for a coffee, a meal or joining in with what's going on. Church Farm holds regular parties and events for residents, and love the community to join in the fun, too. Church Farm Care Home has a team of activity coordinators who plan enjoyable things to do including arts and crafts, games, visits, parties and much more. Church Farm residents love their weekly ‘Boogie Chair‑a‑size’, which encourages the residents to dance and sing along; it keeps everyone active and entertained.

You'll help us make health happen by:

• Using bespoke software to raise invoices, process income including cash allocation, complete banking and take appropriate action in relation to debt management.
• Liaising with Local and Health Authorities to ensure appropriate information and payment is received.
• Ensuring correct and complete documentation including Terms and Conditions are provided and recorded for all admissions.
