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 The Beaufort, 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 The Beaufort 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
The Beaufort has a TV lounge and several quiet sitting
rooms. A separate dining room, where residents can join the company of others at
meal times, is also an important feature of the home. We operate a non-smoking
policy.
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 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 The Beaufort,
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
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.
