Named Nurse and Key Worker
If you are receiving nursing care you will have a named nurse who will be responsible for your nursing assessment, planning, implementation and ongoing review of your care.
All residents will have a key worker, who is a care assistant. This carer will ensure that your room is kept organised, that laundry is sent and received back and tidied away and that you always have sufficient supplies.
Before admission, you will have received a full care needs assessment to ascertain whether we can meet your needs, and whether the Home is right for you. You may have taken advantage of a trial stay or a day visit will be offered prior to the admission into the Home. The planned visit will provide the resident (and family, friends, advocates, or carers) with the opportunity to view the home and meet the staff and other residents.
Whilst you are at the Home, we will ensure you receive the full range of health and professional services you need, including those provided by the GP, nurse specialists, dentist, chiropodist, dietician and optician. We have excellent support from our local GPs; we will encourage all our residents to stay with their own GP if possible, or register with the GP of their choice.
We also provide a range of social opportunities and activities to ensure that residents are occupied and fulfilled. Our carers also provide social and psychological support for residents and their families, by ensuring that anything that may be worrying them is addressed, with support and care provided accordingly.
Our aim is to provide a personalised care service which fully meets each individual resident’s needs. Our objectives are:
-
To enable you to be part of the community of the Home and the wider local community.
