Who will be involved in making decisions about a resident’s care?
Decisions about care are made together, as a team. The resident is always at the centre of this, and we involve family members or loved ones (where the resident wants this), along with our care team and any relevant healthcare professionals.
Before care begins, we complete an assessment and create a personalised care plan based on individual needs, preferences, routines, and medical requirements. We then review this plan regularly — and anytime needs change — so everyone stays informed and confident that the right support is in place.
Is there help available at night?
Can residents keep their GP and healthcare providers?
Do you offer activities and social time?
Yes – we encourage a friendly, active atmosphere with a range of activities and opportunities to socialise. Residents can join in as much or as little as they like, always based on their interests and energy levels.
