Care Provision
Facilities
The Home is friendly and comfortable and aims
to provide a safe homely environment. We have a range of
equipment to assist with all aspect of daily living including
adjustable beds where necessary, pressure relieving mattresses
when required, bath rails and a stair lift. All rooms are
furnished but Residents are welcome of bring in any of their own
pieces of furniture or personal pictures that they wish. The
Home is not suitable for total wheelchair dependent service
users.
As to assist our Service Users with Dementia,
we have alleviated steps where possible from the internal
structure of the building.
We also have assisted Bathing facilities for
our Residents who are particularly frail or mentally impaired
and need assistance bathing.
A professional cook does our catering with
individual dietary needs being dealt with.
We have an in house laundry system but ask
that all items of personal clothing be marked with the Residents
name, relatives deal with that anything requiring special
laundry care, and that the staff are made aware of these.
.
Residents
The Home is registered with the
Care Quality Commission (CQC) following the introduction of
the Care Standards Act in April 2000 and we specialize in the Care
of elderly people especially those diagnosed with Dementia. We can
accommodate Residents in the OP (Elderly) & DE & MD (Mental Disorder)
Service User Categories Excluding Learning difficulties. Please
note that the Home cannot admit Service Users in the DE & MD categories
under the age of 55 years. The Home can accommodate 20 persons at
any one time.
All Residents are assessed prior to admission by Mrs Carey Ely,
Regional Manager to ensure that as
far as is possible we can meet all the individual needs and requirements
to guarantee a comfortable and happy stay with us. This will be
confirmed in writing prior to admission to the Home in a letter
from Mr. Mrs Annette Chuter or Mrs Carey Ely, Regional Manager, who will confirm that
the room is available and that Care can be offered. Unless of course,
there are unforeseen changes in the Residents condition or expectations
on arrival at the Home.
We are not a Nursing Home; therefore, we cannot administer Nursing
Care.
Please Note we operate a locked door policy, therefore all external
doors are locked and can only be opened by a member of staff (except
when a fire alarm is activated, then all doors unlock automatically).
This is to prevent Service Users who may inadvertently “wander”
to the outside perimeter of the Home and may sustain an injury or
become disorientated and become lost.
Please note that Service Users who are not admitted under the DE
or MD categories (Dementia or Mental Disorder) will be given, if
they so wish, the code or key to open the external doors and of
course any amended code to the same.
