Support to Live Life, Your Way - The Benefits of Care Home Living
Cherish the moments. Let us take care of the rest.
We know that the move into a residential care home can be a daunting one – however, if there’s a point where you feel like you’re struggling to cope, even with care in your own home, we want you to know that we’re here for you.
Our skilled team works with every new resident and their family to make sure that the move into one of our care homes, whether for respite care or more long-term, is a positive one. With a dedicated team on hand 24/7 and help just minutes away whenever it's needed, you can be rest assured that your loved one's needs are always being met.
Access to Experts
Our nursing and care homes are fully supported by a wider team of in-house clinical experts. Our Quality and Governance team have decades of experience between them in healthcare, particularly in elderly care.
Another benefit of our homes is that each one works closely with a local GP, giving our residents direct access to a doctor, as well as other community services. We have relationships with district nurse teams, physiotherapists, podiatrists and others and we can help our residents arrange appointments and visits whenever they need them.
Family members often find that, with the reassurance of our team on hand 24/7 and delivering the day-to-day care, they’re able to relax and get back to just enjoying quality time together.
A New Lease of Life
Sometimes, for those living at home, life can start to feel smaller and a little lonelier. An advantage of our nursing and care home is that there’s always something going on. Whether it’s a wander in our landscaped gardens, a baking session with our Head Chef, or even just a quick game of Scrabble with new friends, residents are supported to rediscover old hobbies as well as try new activities. They can do as much – or as little – as they want and often find themselves gaining confidence as they settle in.
Our residential care home teams work with each resident from the moment they join us, learning about their likes, dislikes and life history. This makes the care and whole home experience fully tailored to meet their individual needs and wishes.
Rediscover the Joy of Good Food
Often for those that have been living at home, even with visiting carers, food and dining can feel more like a chore than something to savour.
Our home's restaurant quality menus are inspired by and designed alongside our residents and always offer plenty of choice. With good food and company, mealtimes can be something to look forward to again.
Our Head Chef and hospitality team are enthusiastic about serving up delicious, freshly cooked food that everyone can enjoy, including those on specialist diets.
Fresh, Nutritious Food Tailored to Every Resident
The benefit of having a Head Chef at each of our homes is that they take the time to meet with every new resident to learn about their needs and also about their favourite meals. Our restaurant quality menus – designed alongside residents – always offer plenty of choice. With good food and company all part of the dining experience, mealtimes are something to look forward to again at our care homes.
With home cooked meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients, and resident’s weight, nutrition and hydration monitored and recorded, we’re able to make sure everyone living with us is eating the best food to keep them healthy and happy.
From three daily meals to indulgent High Tea Wednesdays, we focus on choice, dignity and enjoyment in every bite.
Leading the Way with Technology
At Caring Homes, we have invested in some of the best technology available to support our teams in delivering the highest level of care. This helps each resident to live well and safely with us, whilst always respecting their wishes.
Our systems allow us to provide the best care possible, tailored to each individual's needs and requests. It helps us deliver the full advantages of care, through a safe, consistent and fully documented process. With the latest technology on hand to help, our teams have more opportunities to spend quality time with our residents.
