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. |

The Importance Of Meal Times |

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. |
