The home has its own dedicated GP who carries out regular rounds either directly or virtually thus supporting the residents at the home to have continuity of care and support when needed. We are also able to access members of the multidisciplinary team Through GP referrals such as physiotherapy, speech & language & dietetic support. We can also access the support of the mental health team & infection control.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
A physically active lifestyle can significantly improve people’s quality of life at all stages of dementia. Chapel House’s two Activities Organisers work hard to incorporate people’s hobbies and interests into their daily routine. Some residents enjoy sitting peacefully with their favourite carer, others prefer to be more active. And there’s plenty of choice: live music sessions, hair & beauty treatment, cake decorating, sensory gardening, visits to local parks, Christmas parties, theatre trips, and bespoke exercise sessions. Our experienced activity coordinators have completed individualised PALS assessments for each of our residents that includes a detailed life history ensuring that all staff have information about the residents, their wishes & choices. There are interactive games, quizzes, music & many ideals & activities for reminiscence. We have regular entertainers to suite all along with themed events throughout the year. |
