Good Companions EMI Residential Care Home

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Good Companions is our second home, which we opened in 2011, and since then it has been fully renovated and beautifully refurbished with all rooms having en-suite bathrooms. It houses our friendly Day Care Centre where we offer a range of activities and the very best in Dementia Care.

Our rooms are beautifully decorated with en suite facilities. Residents are encouraged to bring along some home comforts for the personal touch.

As specialists in Dementia care, we aim to understand the individual needs of our residents and service users, so that we can pro-actively improve their well being and enhance their quality of life. We take pride in creating a team of caring staff with an indepth knowledge of dementia and an understanding of the different ways it can personally affect individuals behaviours. Our specialist and dedicated team are committed to supporting each and everyone of the people who stay with us on an individual basis.

A balanced, nutritious diet is essential to maintaining health and wellbeing, our carers can prepare all types of meals for our clients, taking likes and dislikes into consideration.
We offer a mix of traditional and foreign cuisine, all with residents’ favourite meals in mind.

Every day, our Activity Co-ordinators plan things for residents to do that improve and stimulate all areas of their lives. Activities such as baking, flower arranging, painting, crafts and jigsaws, take place regularly. We also take time to learn about our residents’ existing hobbies and interests, and where possible, aim to include these in the activities programme.

Whilst we adore animals, unfortunately, we are unable to accept them into the home due to saftey reasons. We also need to appreciate that not all people love animals and some have allergies. We do however, have other our staffs pets to visit or we have a number of organisations bring in theirs. We have had anything from reptiles to ponies.
