We recently supported Isle Court Nursing Home with the installation of a new assisted bath, helping to create a safer and more comfortable space for residents and carers alike.
Surrounded by open countryside, Isle Court is a warm and welcoming home providing residential, nursing, dementia, and palliative care. The setting is a converted country house full of character, and the team go above and beyond to make it feel like home — from the communal coffee space to the heart-warming welcome sign in the entrance:
“In this home, we are family…”
A Much-Needed Upgrade
The previous bath in the home had become outdated and increasingly difficult to use. With many residents requiring some level of mobility support, the team recognised the need for a safer, more user-friendly solution.
Following a site visit and consultation, the Astor Compact Plus bath was chosen. Its smooth, powered seat and height-adjustable features allow carers to assist with dignity while working at a safe level — greatly improving day-to-day care and resident experience.

A Truly Person-Centred Project
From the moment you enter Isle Court, there’s a calm, uplifting feel. Carers are attentive and clearly proud of the home. Residents are supported to live as independently as possible, and changes to the environment are made with their wellbeing at the forefront.
The new bath has already had a big impact.
“The bath is streamlined, easy to use and safe. It’s created happy bathing time.”
– Team Leader, Isle Court”
The Outcome
The new assisted bath has transformed the bathing experience at Isle Court. Staff now support residents with ease and confidence, while individuals enjoy a comfortable, relaxing bath in a safer setting.
Astor Bannerman was proud to support the team with this thoughtful upgrade, helping to create a safer, more dignified space for personal care.
