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 21 persons at any one time.
All Residents are assessed prior to admission 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. Mark DANN or Mr. Kitchen, 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.
Health and Personal Care
We try to ensure that
the Resident's privacy and dignity is preserved during the delivery
of health and personal Care.
We refer to
appropriate professionals to meet the health needs of each Resident.
We produce with each Resident a plan of Care based on the initial
assessment and which is then by continuing assessment, updated
monthly.
