The home focusses on the wellbeing of all residents. The dedicated wellbeing coordinator is assisted by ad hoc groups and outside activities that supplement the in-house programs. As far as possible, care staff are encouraged to be involved in wellbeing issues. This can involve one-to-one chats, life history discussions, newspaper readings etc. Residents appreciate the attention of care staff who know the resident well. Outside activities include singers and entertainers, pat-dog therapy, school choirs, church choirs and services, and charity events such as cup-cake making. We strive to provide rounded and varied options that meet each residents' needs. |
