Residential Care
Residential care is a suitable care option for those who are finding it increasingly difficult to live by themselves. Many older people prefer to live in a residential care home as it provides them with security, social engagement, and continual personal care and support in daily life. Residents can live an enriching life at our care home and avoid the stresses of maintaining a household including chores such as cleaning, cooking washing and finances, and instead enjoy a fantastic dining experience alongside other pleasantries.
Residential care is designed to support a resident’s overall well-being. Our caring team goes above and beyond to provide more than just basic care for our residents as we want them to live in a loving environment that promotes both physical and mental stimulation. Residents benefit from a variety of all-inclusive amenities and services as well around-the-clock care.
Nursing Care
Our care home provides nursing care for individuals who need 24/7 medical care and personal care. This specialist care type is beneficial for individuals who have physical disabilities, or who have long-term health conditions and illnesses, as they require dependency on others, therefore a nursing team is the best people for the job. Our mission is to help residents live a comfortable life while we support them and their needs.
Residents who reside at our nursing home will receive quality care at all hours of the day and night from our experienced team of registered nurses. Each resident will be supported by a dedicated nurse who will get to know everything about them in order to provide care that provides maximum comfort, security and happiness.
Dementia Care
We have worked with many people living with dementia. We are able to provide unrivalled person-centred dementia care for a variety of needs, supporting the different types of dementia and its stages. Just like with our other types of care, we approach every resident’s care differently, making our dementia care plans unique to each individual circumstance.
Our activities programme incorporates dementia-friendly activities for people living with the condition so that residents of all abilities can join in on the fun. Our goal is to provide every resident with the opportunity to experience a lifestyle that suits them and provide a nurturing environment where they can be truly happy.
Respite Care
Respite Care is offered to anyone who needs a break from their everyday lives. It could be that someone is a full-time carer for a loved one, and this type of short-term care is the ideal option for caregivers to take a well-deserved break from their challenging duties, while we take of everything for a while.
Respite Care is also suitable for those who are recovering from an illness or injury and need some time out from their usual routines. For an individual hesitant about moving to a care home on a permanent basis, respite care can be used as a way of trialling a care home before fully committing to the move.
