Special Features
| PHILOSOPHY We believe in a friendly, warm, homely environment that promotes individual freedom with security. An environment in which each person can identify his or her own space, where they can seek privacy and welcome friends and family in comfort. We have an intrinsic belief in people and their holistic nature. A wholeness that compromises social, spiritual, physical, cultural and psychological characteristics, and which requires a planned approach to caring. The plan accommodates the uniqueness of each individual and recognises fluctuations and changes in needs as they arise. We recognise that illness and wellness are part of each person’s life experience. Even though our residents may not be ill, they will have special needs from time to time. Our aim is to prevent illness and promote healing when illness does occur, while maintaining individual integrity, dignity and independence. We do this by fostering a collaborative approach to care in which a well developed carer- resident relationship is of primary importance. ENVIRONMENT We have three separate wings; The Williams Wing caters for residents who are unable to care for themselves in their own home. The Johnstone Wing has been specifically designed for the needs of the more confused elderly who require specialist care with the Perriam Wing offering hospital level of care. Clare House has a modern central heating system and is provided with systems to ensure the maximum safety and security for both residents and staff. There is a fully automatic sprinkler and smoke detector system, this is connected to the Fire Brigade. We are situated in beautiful, spacious gardens, in a peaceful neighbourhood away form traffic noise, yet close to a variety of amenities including shops, banks, churches etc. We are well known for our warm, friendly, home-like environment and family atmosphere. We are not too big, so our residents are like family, and yet not too small, so we are able to provide a full range of services for our residents. We enjoy personal and individual relationships with staff, residents and families. |
