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.
Service Providers
Mr. and Mrs. Kitchen are the owners of the Home and service
providers. They have been in the Care Home sector since 1989.
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 by Mrs Carey
Ely, Regional Manager
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 Carey Ely, Regional Manager or Mrs Julie Harris, Home 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
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 behaviour
or who have an aggressive nature to others.
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.
