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 Orchard Court, care is based around each person's individual needs.
Our residents have varying needs but all enjoying living within a secure and
caring environment.
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
Orchard Court 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
Orchard Court has TV lounges, a quiet sitting room and
conservatory. A separate dining room, where residents can join the company of
others at meal times is also an important feature of the home. A courtyard and a
large rear garden are also popular in the summer.
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, including the use of our specialist sensory
room. 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.
Entertaining guests or small private parties is available by
negotiation.
Types of
stay
Whilst most of our residents live permanently at
Orchard Court occasionally we can offer shorter term breaks. 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 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.
