Getting to know our residents is the most important part of our role as a caring residential care home. We feel it is important to start from the beginning understanding family, working life, hobbies, and interests, so we can tailor make our home experience to suit our residents.
We start this during our initial ‘Get to Know You’ questionnaire and this information is shared with our staff team from the start of your stay.
Our experienced staff team take time to get to know our resident’s routines and personal preferences, to support providing dignified care, so our residents can remain as independent as possible.
Any personal preferences just let our manager know and we will try our best to accommodate.
We offer daily activities tailored to the enjoyment of our residents. Our residents enjoy daily newspapers, visits to the shops to purchase a cake (or two) and gorgeous walks around Ashton Gardens.
Our carers enjoy giving manicures, massages and supporting with exercises to keep our residents active. We also have games, jigsaws, and music on hand. For those residents that like to keep stimulated, support is on hand to help read a book, share sudoku, wordsearch and crosswords. Our quiz and movies are very popular too.
We offer an in-house hairdresser and chiropody service but for those hair days in between, our carers have a mobile hairdressing station, that is never far away!
We recognise the importance of maintaining strong family relationships for our residents. Families and friends are always welcome to visit.
We love putting on events in our homes and family and friends are always welcome. We encourage all our residents to celebrate birthdays, local and national events and we love any excuse to have a party.
Our aim is to celebrate at least one event a month. We put on our party outfits, decorate our home, invite in a singer, and celebrate with our friends and family. We offer afternoon tea events, summer BBQ’s and when winter sets in our delicious afternoon buffets warms even the coldest days!
Our current events are displayed on the family notice board, and we look forward to seeing you very soon.
