Friends of Pytchley Court -Disbanded January 2018

Brixworth, Northamptonshire, NN6 9DX

The Friends of Pytchley Court supported the work of the home. Situated within the village location of Brixworth Northamptonshire, Pytchley Court Care Home is a purpose built 40 bedded care home offering Dementia, Nursing, Residential and End of Life care.

The Friends aimed to improve the quality of life of the residents of the care home by working with staff, residents and relatives.

The Friends of Pytchley Court were looking to develop services on the site. We found that this was particularly valued by some residents who through deteriorating health did not have the confidence to come out of their rooms. Alongside this we supported the care homes’ activities’ coordinators by providing extra pairs of hands during organised activity sessions and outings.
