Committed to quality nursing and residential
care...
Care
At Southpark, care is based around each person's individual
needs. All of our residents 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
Southpark 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
Southpark 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 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
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. 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 Southpark, 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 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.
