Choosing a care home
Questions to consider when choosing a home
- Will it provide the right level of personal care and attention?
- Will it provide the right environment to make the individual feel happy and at ease?
- Does it feel right? Do you feel comfortable there?
- Will family members/ friends be able to visit without restriction?
- Does it look clean and smell fresh?
- Do staff members interact with the residents?
- Are residents able to do what they please, do people look active?
- Will you ensure that all family members are consulted about this important decision?
- Will the home still provide the resident with links to their local community or network?
- Will the resident be able to bring personal items and furniture to make their room feel more like home?
- Will the funding of the care be affordable in the long term, whether from local social services or other source
Our properties
All of our care homes are highly secure, with key coded entry systems. Our staff are fully trained and have regular meetings to ensure that our high standards are maintained.
The properties are all pet friendly and registered with the Cinnamon trust, allowing for residents to bring their pets with them into our properties (All pets are assessed before admission).
Our priority is to make individuals feel as welcome as possible. We keenly promote friends and family visiting at a time that suits each individual resident and we actively encourage independence within our homes. Our open house policy means that visitors can come whenever a resident wishes.
