Residential Care

Residential Care is for people who can not continue living in their own home, even with support from home care services. You can stay in residential care for a short time (known as respite care), over a longer period or permanently.

 

We aim to offer a service to those with a learning disability, enduring or recovering mental ill health, alcohol, drug, auditory, sensory and physical needs in a supportive and caring environment where we promote a positive attitude to taking responsibility for your own life.

 

Support staff work as named key workers alongside you in preparing, promoting and implementing your own Care Plan that highlights your needs and wishes. The Care Plan is reviewed every six months after evaluation.

Residential care typically provides for personal care, utility bills, meals and drinks (including any special dietary requirements), personal laundry, some internal and external activities and many other areas.

 

We believe it is very important that your room is treated as your own - you may decorate it to your own tastes and will have your own key so that you can come and go as you please. Your personal choices are important and you can bring items of a personal nature such as TV, radio, furniture etc (as long as we can accommodate it).

 

Our aim is to create an environment which enables privacy and dignity to be maintained, respecting your choices and wishes and all staff must sign confidentiality statements upon their induction.

 

Who is Residential Care for?
There is a wide range of reasons for needing this type of support, for example, if a person has significant physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental ill health or is at risk of injury or abuse.

 

It can help you to continue living safely, whilst giving your family or carer peace of mind knowing you are in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to provide you with:

  • day to day support;
  • a comfortable and safe environment to live in;
  • activities of real interest and enjoyment;
  • privacy and dignity;
  • support for your physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social needs.
