EIGHT CONTINENTS
THE TYPES OF CARE
It can be difficult to know what you need, but we will work with every resident and their close family, together with other healthcare specialists, to help you agree exactly what type of personalised care is needed. We Support Owners with bespoke Total Care Management Programme for smooth operations of Care Homes and we ensure we meet all parameters by CQC ( CARE QUALITY CIMMISSION – UK)
Individual care is designed to create a feeling of ‘being at home’. The focus is mostly centred on maintaining lifestyle choices to help our residents to retain their choices, personal preferences and independence as much as possible in order to enjoy fulfilling and stimulating lives. This is delivered in an environment where their personal privacy and space is retained.
There are different reasons to choose Residential Care. Perhaps someone has reduced mobility, or they need extra support with some aspects of everyday living. Perhaps they are just lonely and isolated and want the reassurance and companionship that care home living brings. In every event, this care approach aims to promote good health and overall wellbeing by providing for immediate needs alongside a rich and varied programme of activities and opportunities to retain everyday life as close as possible to when the resident was living in their own home.
For residents with more complex or demanding medical conditions, Nursing Care enables them to receive the expert nursing care they need, but within the comfortable surroundings of their home-from-home care environment. We have the facilities and equipment available to support a range of medical scenarios, from support with medication through to 24 hours nursing.
This Nursing Care option is provided by qualified nurses who are part of the Care team and have specialist, up-to-date knowledge of elderly care and end of life care, where we support residents and families through these difficult times with dignity and compassion.
