Rawyards House Care Home

The home offers a range of communal facilities such as a beautiful fully stocked bar and bistro cafe, large lounges plus cinema facilities, dining rooms, and smaller quiet rooms or family lounges which can even be suitable for private dining. All areas are easily accessible with large lifts to support movement between floors.

Our home has a spacious, flat level landscaped garden with beautiful colourful plants and a barbecue area as well as many seating areas for the enjoyment of residents and their guests. We employ full-time maintenance and housekeeping staff on the premises and our continued investment ensures high standards and a clean and safe environment.

Our home offers a modern yet classical smart decor, with a range of living options from single occupancy to companion rooms – all with en-suite and shower facilities. Rooms are furnished to a high standard with 24-hour call system, flat screen TV, telephone and broadband facilities. However, we welcome residents to personalise their room with their own belongings and our in-house maintenance staff are always on hand to help.

We recognise that it’s not just about physical care, but also about supporting our residents to obtain the best from their lives.

To achieve this we employ fully trained and dedicated professionals. We continue to develop their skills and knowledge to ensure that exceptionally high standards of person-centred care is delivered in a friendly manner throughout our service. A comprehensive approach to care Every resident has a personalised care plan where residents and families may contribute, which describes what help and assistance they require and how they would like their care to be provided.

The care plan includes all aspects of daily living such as medication, routines, how they prefer to be addressed, and their likes and dislikes. It enables our carers to provide thoughtful and individual care to our residents ensuring their needs are met in a safe, secure and relaxed atmosphere.

Our home appreciates that families, friends and the wider community, as well as other professionals such as doctors and social workers are important to the lives of our residents and to the Care Home.

Although all our professional carers work to ensure that our residents’ needs and preferences are met, we also provide every resident with a named member of staff who will act as their Key Worker. This ensures continued familiarity for each resident.

Our chefs are tireless in their quest to ensure that our residents receive wholesome, well-presented and, above all, delicious meals and snacks. These are prepared from quality ingredients which include fresh and local produce.

We recognise that our residents have a diverse range of likes, choices and special dietary requirements. Our chefs are very comfortable in planning à la carte menus with our residents, which are tailored to their needs. Residents can choose whether they would like to eat in dining rooms or enjoy a private meal in their own room.

We look forward to celebrating special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and national holidays in the style our residents prefer, including facilities for private parties with their friends and relatives.

Discreet help is always on hand if needed. Morning coffee, afternoon tea and round the-clock snacks are available.

Our home assists residents in developing and maintaining their social interests and engaging in meaningful activities. This is supported by all our staff but especially by our dedicated activity staff who help co-ordinate programmes for our residents according to their choices and individual hobbies.

On any particular day, our residents could be enjoying a drive in a car or mini-bus, participating in reminiscence workshops, planting their favourite flowers in the garden, or enjoying a cinema afternoon with a glass of champagne.

Residents can freely entertain their guests in the communal and private areas of the home, or in the privacy of their own bedroom. Our home has an in-house hairdressing and beauty salon offering the opportunity for a well deserved pampering.
