Our registered nurses and carers
are trained to ensure that the privacy, dignity and choice of each resident is
respected.
Committed to quality nursing and
residential care...
Care
At Vale
Court, care is based around each person's individual needs. Some of our
residents have only modest care requirements, and may simply enjoy living within
a secure and caring environment. Others need 24 hour nursing assistance.
However, whatever the 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 Vale Court 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
Vale Court
has TV lounges and quiet sitting rooms. Separate dining rooms, where residents
can join the company of others at meal times, are also an important feature of the home.
The home is attended by an experienced hair
stylist, a qualified chiropodist and a range of complementary therapies can be
arranged to suit individual requirement. All the laundry for our residents is undertaken by the
home.
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 rooms. The entertainment of
guests and arrangement of small private parties attracts a small extra charge.
Types of Stay
Whilst most
of our residents live permanently at Vale Court, there is 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 environment and 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 care
are dependent upon the individual's requirements and needs. Arrangements for the
payment of fees will be agreed with residents 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.
