Day Care
If you or your loved one require additional care or elderly support, you might have already considered the option of long term residential care. However, there are a number of reasons why a day care home could potentially suit your needs better:
- It gives you greater control over living costs.
- It gives you the opportunity to socialise with new people (our residents and staff) as well as engaging in a range of fun activities.
- It eliminates the stress of moving house and is less disruptive to your daily routine.
- It helps to maintain a person’ sense of independence.
In fact, our day care service is often the ideal choice for older adults who live on their own and spend long periods of time without any human company or interaction. It can also be a great way to encourage a smoother transition into full time residential care.
Your care in our hands
As you step inside our home, there’s a warm welcome from our team of amazing carers. Our specialist care teams are highly trained to deliver personalised care and support at all times that are right for you or your loved one.
We have thought long and hard about what our residents like to eat and how they like meals to be served. We found that food and the social aspect surrounding it is something that most people hold dear; it evokes memories of different eras in one’s life, various people, and celebration. We think that in itself is something worth savouring.
At our homes, we’ve created a lovely welcoming dining area for meals and snacks and are very proud of our home cooking, offering a varied menu made with locally-sourced produce. All our meat is purchased from a local butcher, cooked on-site by our dedicated team of chefs. We have even been fortunate enough due to the diligence of our catering team to be awarded a 5 Star Rating by the Local Authority for Food and Hygiene.
Daily Activities
At our homes, we recognise the importance of recreational activities and we invest a lot of time making sure our residents enjoy every day. With dedicated co-ordinators, we have a full programme of events on a daily basis, many of which actively encourage participation from family, friends and the local community. A real social affair.
We are focused on promoting independence, agility and choice, through person centred planning. We strive to ensure all personal needs are met and social activities of choice are enjoyed, including trips out with staff.
So you may see our residents pushing the tea trolleys, laying the tables, hanging out the clothes, planting flowers, or sweeping up leaves. This may not be the expected activities of a care home ie. a daily sing song (although these do also happen), however this is an activity that our guests have chosen and really made their own.
