Care
At Gotton
Manor, 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 Gotton Manor 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
Gotton Manor is tastefully furnished and 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 Gotton Manor, 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.
