Individual Care
These are our foundation stones
Compassion, respect, dignity and choice are the essential foundation stones to our approach. We ensure that we encourage greater involvement by residents and their families for shared decision making.
Residents are the focus of our service provision
We ensure that all residents are fully involved in the planning and delivery of services, promoting their right to privacy and independence.
Comfort & Wellbeing
We recognise that everyone is different and the care we deliver aims to reflect this. Memory House provides a homely, relaxed and safe atmosphere for its residents, guests and staff.
We go to great lengths to make everyone’s stay truly beneficial
Respite care
From a few days respite or rehabilitation, to longer residential requirements, our principles remain the same and your wellbeing is always our priority.
Residential care
People who stay with us on a Residential basis will have their care package led by a Senior Carer who will, with your involvement, devise a set of care plans to meet your needs. The team will have access to the community based healthcare team that will include your GP and their District Nurses.
Individual Needs
Activities
A regular programme of activities is promoted within Larchwood Care homes by our dedicated activity coordinators.
Each activity is designed around keeping fit and active or to simply stimulate. We encourage residents to live their lives as they wish and are able to join in, or not, as they please. Care Home activities often involve the local community and we encourage strong social links with local groups.
Typical daily activities include;
- Arts & Crafts
- Indoor bowling
- Bingo
- Passive and gentle exercises
- One to one shopping trips
- Beauty Therapy
- Reminiscence meetings
- Card games
Catering for all
We also arrange visits to Religious festival celebrations at Christmas and Easter as well as activities surrounding other non-religious festivals. To ensure we all look our best, a hairdresser regularly visits Larchwood Care homes where salon facilities are available.
Our Catering Team provide a wide range of freshly prepared meals to suit all tastes. Clients are encouraged to make menu suggestions and any specific treats, needs or allergies can be catered for.
