Focus on Wellbeing

The wellbeing of our residents is at the heart of what we do and work with the holistic model of care to ensure that, alongside the physical personal care we provide, the environment and access to meaningful social activities is suitably therapeutic.

Focus on Residents

Everything we do in the home is based on the needs, abilities, and aspirations of our residents. Our quality assurance systems are structured to ensure we are constantly working towards providing the best care and environment for our residents in order to support their holistic wellbeing. Services of the home remain resident needs-led.

The Environment

The physical environment of the home is designed for residents' convenience and comfort, and all residents are able to bring with them their own furniture and home comforts.

Dietary Needs

We cater for special and therapeutic diets as advised by specialist staff and as agreed in each resident's care plan. Care staff are available to provide discreet, sensitive, and individual help with eating and drinking for those needing it. Hot and cold drinks are always available.

We aim to make all the food and drink we provide attractive, appealing, and appetising, and to mark special occasions and festivals.

Transport

As part of the support available, transport will be provided to attend all medical appointments, and any outings including visiting friends and family.

Social Activities, Hobbies, and Leisure Interests

We continually strive to make it possible for our residents to live their lives as fully as possible. Upon initial admission assessment, we aim to encourage potential residents to share with us as much information as possible about their social, cultural, and leisure interests, as a basis for helping them during their period of residence in the home.

We support residents to continue to enjoy as wide a range of individual and group activities and interests as possible, both inside and outside the home, to carry on with existing hobbies, pursuits, and relationships, and to explore new avenues and experiences.

We provide organised social activities such as parties, outings, and entertainers. We hope that friendships among residents will develop and that residents will enjoy being part of a community, but there is no compulsion on a resident to join in any of the communal activities.

We have a craft coordinator to assist with the home's social programme, and there are craft and games equipment within the home.
