Glen Lee
Glen Lee, located in Bitterne, aims to provide a service which is tailored to each individual resident. The home provides residential accommodation for people who have medium to high levels of dementia. It has been decorated to create a physical environment which promotes choice and independence.
Glen Lee is set in large grounds and has an enclosed garden which contains a sensory wood. This is a woodland pathway, with hand rails, which contains colourful objects, such as ornamental butterflies and wind chimes to stimulate the senses of people suffering from dementia.
The garden is a popular area for residents during the summer months where entertainment is held on a regular basis. There is also a regular programme of social events and organised entertainment. Activities, organised by staff, are held every day.
Residents are able to access their own GPs and other health professionals 
including chiropodists, dentists and opticians.
Glen Lee has accommodation for 34 people, aged 65 and over, who need 24 hour care. They offer both permanent and short term accommodation.
Wavel Day centre, situated within Glen Lee, provides day care for older people with Dementia who live in the community and residents receiving respite care.
All staff have completed appropriate dementia care training. 91% of staff have achieved NVQ level 2, 3, and 4 in Care and receive on going training annually.
