Where you’ll work
Dalby Court has its own Namaste room for ultimate relaxation. Residents can enjoy a foot spa or a hand massage while listening to their favourite music. There is also mood lighting, a bubble machine and other sensory equipment. This room is also perfect for the pamper days the team organises for our ladies, who enjoy a manicure and having their nails painted. Another popular area where our residents like to socialise in is the ‘Coulby Newham’ bar in the centre of the home. Our gents and ladies are able to enjoy a pint, a glass of wine or whatever tipple takes their fancy while playing a game of darts or cards. The room is also used to celebrate private family events such as birthdays and anniversaries, for which we ensure there is a home-baked cake to mark the occasion.
