Care Provision
Facilities
The Home is friendly
and comfortable and aims to provide a safe Homely
environment. We have a range of equipment of assist with all
aspect of daily living including adjustable beds where
necessary, pressure relieving mattresses when required, bath rails,
bed rails and a Shaft Lift. All rooms are furnished but Residents
are welcome of bring in any of their own pieces or
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
are marked with the Residents name and that anything requiring
special laundry Care is dealt with by relatives 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(E) (Dementia over 65 years of
age) Service User Categories. The Home can accommodate 23 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 Mrs. Bartlett or Mrs. 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
or Secure unit facility, therefore we can not administer Nursing
Care and we have an open door policy.
We can not
accommodate Service users with or who develop challenging behavior
or who have an aggressive nature to others.
Please note due to
our “open door philosophy” and the physical location on the Home, we
can not accommodate Service Users who have a tendency to “wander
externally to the boundaries Home” as this would pose a risk to the
Service User.
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.
