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 Belle Vue, care is based around each person's individual needs.
Some of ourresidents have only modest care requirements, and may simply enjoy
living within a secure and caring environment. Others need 24 hour nursing
assistance. 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 Belle Vue 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
Belle Vue has TV lounges and a quiet sitting room (with both smoking and
non smoking areas). 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
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 Foods
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. 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
Belle Vue 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.
Admissions &
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 and residential 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.
