Our approach to residential care is about more than meeting your care needs, it’s about looking after your overall wellbeing, ensuring your health, minds and heart are all equally cared for, living you live your life as independently as you can with additionally support along the way if needed.
Residential care is designed to assist individuals with daily living activities, medication administration, mobility and personal care. Residential care means residents treat our home as their own, living normally as they would, just alongside taking advantage of our in-house services and facilities.
Residential care is long term and usually provided to older people who want to benefit from group living, or would like additional support with daily tasks and activities.
Residential care is a great option for older people who have difficulty living independently or would prefer somewhere with more security, social interaction and ongoing support.
A lot of people have the misconception that residential care is a ‘last resort’ and only need a care home when they are very unwell or completely unable to manage, yet, there are many residents who enjoy the benefits that come with residing in a care home.
Our care home has been considerately designed to feature a range of facilities and services that ensure the comfort and convenience of each of our residents.
Residential care is for those whoo require full time accommodation and the option for around the clock support with medical and personal care, also perfect for anyone who feels lonely and would benefit from group living. Nursing care is very similar as it also provides care and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, yet its more designed for those who need additional help from registered general nurses who can administer medication and medical treatment during any time.
We have personalised care plans for all residents and these are monitored and assessed regularly. If a resident’s care needs change at all, we all work together with their family too, to ensure their needs are fully being met and we’re able to change and adapt them as and when needed.
Our services and facilities all vary within the home but you can expect 24 hour care and support with medical care and personal wellbeing along with housekeeping, laundry services, dining, activities and entertainment and other in-house facilities such as our cinema room, garden, cafe and hair salon.
