respected.
Committed to quality nursing and
residential care...
Care
At
Oakfield, care is based around each person's individual needs. Most residents
need 24 hour nursing assistance. Whatever their need, care is delivered with
patience,
kindness and understanding.
The care plan for each resident is
exclusive, and aimed at promoting health and independence. Residents and,
where
appropriate their families, are involved as far as is practical in the
decisions regarding their care.
Doctors from local practices visit Oakfield on a regular basis or by
individual appointment. Residents may choose to retain their own family GP,
alternatively we can make the necessary introduction to a new
practice.
We very much recognise the importance of personal, individual
and resident focused care. To achieve this, good communication between all
members of the care team,
be they nurses, carers, relatives or doctors, is
essential.
Facilities
Oakfield has a quiet sitting room and a
separate dining room, where residents can join the company of others at meal
times, which are an important feature of the home.
TV points are in residents
own bedrooms.
The home is attended by an experienced
hair stylist, a qualified chiropodist and a range of complementary therapies can
be arranged to suit individual requirements.
A varied programme of
activities also takes place in the home for the benefit of
residents.
Visitors are welcome at any time and in addition all our
facilities are extended to close friends and family.
Choice of
Food
Our Chef prepares a wide range of home
cooked food based upon traditional cooking using fresh produce. Special diets
are catered for and daily choices are available. Meals are served to suit the
convenience of residents and can be served in the privacy of bedrooms or at the
table in our dining room. Entertaining guests or small private parties is
available for which there is a small extra charge.
Types of
Stay
Whilst most of our residents live
permanently at Oakfield there are a regular number of returning guests who
choose to stay with us for shorter periods of days or weeks. Many people
find
a break from their own home an essential tonic. Others may choose to rest with
us following a period of poorer health and recuperate at the
home.
We fully appreciate the stress
associated with leaving home to live in a new location, and are happy to accept
new residents for an agreed trial period at the end of which there would be no
further obligation.
Admission &
Fees
Prior to admission, each new resident
is encouraged to visit the home to satisfy themselves that the ambience is to
their liking. Our Home Manager will also wish to discuss the personal
preferences of each prospective resident and whatever care needs may be
required. This is essential to confirm that we are able to provide the correct
environment for each individual.
The fees for nursing care are dependent
upon the choice of room available and the individual's requirements and
needs.
Individual arrangements for the payment of fees will be agreed prior
to admission.
Philosophy of
Care
We are committed to providing the
highest possible standards of care.
Residents will be treated as
individuals and cared for with respect and dignity within a safe, comfortable
and
homely environment which provides stimulation and encourages independence
where appropriate.
For further information and to arrange a
visit
please contact the Home Manager at any time.
