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 Cotswold Spa, 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 Cotswold Spa 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
Cotswold Spa is tastefully furnished and has two lounges and a
separate dining room, where residents can join the company of others at meal
times, which are 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. A
therapeutic spa pool is also available. All the laundry for our residents is
undertaken by the home.
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 room. 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 Cotswold Spa, 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.
Admissions &
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 choice of room available and the individuals
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.
