Older people tend to be quite proud & find it hard to ask for help at the best of times. If staff don’t enjoy their work & appear unhappy, then residents will pick up on this. This will make it harder for them to ask for help when it’s really needed.
So Hopton is here to help! We only employ the best people for each & every role. Our staff are all passionate about helping people and want to make a difference. We have staff of all ages & backgrounds.
Staff at Hopton are reminded every day that they are valued members of a team. Our care assistants love coming to work & are passionate about providing kindness & care.
Every member of our team from the chefs to the maintenance men are trained in dementia awareness & buy into our ethos of kindness, friendliness & positivity.
We have a first-class management team here & a team of fantastic carers who are skilled, patient & always kind.
Our staff recieve the best detailed training programmes. They all have an NVQ care Level 2 qualification & most are qualified to NVQ Level 3. We have our own in house training provided through Aged Care TV & skills for care.
Our staff are paid to receive this training, which means that they are always improving.

Our staff work short shifts & have flexible working hours. They will become stable and familiar faces in your Mum’s new life.
It’s a brilliant team & many of whom have families themselves. They look after our residents as they would want their own parents or loved ones to be looked after.
We also pride ourselves on our home being spotless & operate a personalised laundry and dry-cleaning service led by head housekeeper Alyson Doyle.
Being looked after by someone you know and who knows you is really important at Hopton. Our staff will get to know your favourite meals and activities.
They will help your Mum feel comfortable at all times, just like you would at home. Hopton will feel like their home before they know it.
We also have our own maintenance team at the home to help with all things from; putting up your pictures, to arranging your furniture and gritting the paths in Winter.
Our kitchen is led by highly qualified & experienced Head Chef Joanne Reid. Along with our other chefs, she helps provide beautiful home-made meals to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.
We also have 2 full time dedicated activities staff who engage our residents with a variety of trips, events and games.
24 Hour Care
Hopton has extra-wide corridors with hand rails throughout & specially designed bath & shower rooms which offer the perfect level of comfort for your Mum.
>50 of the 60 cottages are on the ground floor & residents don’t need to use steps or ramps at any time.
Our lovely gardens have walkways constructed from non-slip decorative concrete so Mum can enjoy walks safely all year round.
We offer all the help your Mum needs. Including personal care, managing health concerns, support to get out & about & enjoy activities & social events.
We will work with you & other health professionals to develop a plan of care that is right for your Mum.
Palliative Care
We provide care for people nearing the end of their life but who wish to remain in a familiar & caring environment. We understand how important this is to our families.
Also known as end of life care, we aim to ease suffering & enhance a person’s remaining life to help them live as well as possible with dignity & respect until they die.
We work closely with GPs & district nurses to offer support to relatives during this sad time. The whole service is designed around patients & they can remain involved in their care through residents meetings & all manner of feedback.
As you can see, we have hand-picked the finest staff that are truly caring & trained to take care of your Mum. They are the backbone of our care home.
On top of taking care of our residents, they also organise a wide variety of fun activities & prepare delicious home-made meals. I will talk more about this in my email in 2 days, so make sure to check your inbox then!
