Osbourne Court is a purpose
built care home, providing nursing and social care in a selection of differing
rooms.
It has been constructed and furnished to a extremely high standard.
All rooms are for single occupancy and all have private toilet facilities. The
home is situated near to the centre of Baldlock, within easy reach of shops and
other amenities, public transport and A1.
Care
At Osbourne 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 delievered 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 Osbourne Court on a regular basis or by individual
appointment. Residents may choose to retain their own 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
Osbourne Court has TV lounges and a quiet sitting room
(with both smoking and non-smoking areas). Seperate 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
at 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
Foods
Our Chef prepares a wide range of home
cooked food based on 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 Osbourne 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. Other 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 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 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.
