Residential Care

Our expert team has the experience to provide your loved one with the highest standard of care to ensure they feel safe and supported while maintaining their independence at our luxurious, state-of-the-art residential care homes.
What Is A Residential Care Home?
A residential care home is a facility that provides accommodation and support to those who may be struggling with the ability to live independently. It can also be a safe haven for those who have previously been living alone but would benefit from an extra helping hand, a sense of security and a social network of other like-minded individuals.
Residential care homes are the start of a new chapter. Our residential care homes are designed to offer your loved one ample opportunity to invest their time and energy into activities that they enjoy, discover new hobbies and feel a sense of community. It’s our mission to encourage residents to live every day to the fullest and make meaningful memories in a sociable and enriching environment.
Why Choose A Residential Care Home?
The quality of our care is what makes our residential care homes stand out from the rest. We provide an individual-centric approach to care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our dedicated staff take the time to form a deep connection with residents and have a vested interest in their wellbeing. We value each of our residents’ personalities, characteristics and right to live their lives how they wish, while offering the support they require in a kind and respectful manner.
Our residential care homes are designed to emulate the atmosphere you feel being in your own home. Furnished to the highest standard while remaining comfortable and cosy, and most importantly – accessible. Every individual is encouraged to personalise their living quarters with meaningful belongings, photographs and anything else that makes them feel at home.
Specialist Residential Care Provided By Experts
Whatever the requirements of your loved one, we’re here to help. Our specially trained carers can provide varying levels of support, from managing medications and helping perform daily tasks to personal grooming and hygiene.
Prior to move-in, each individual is issued with a tailored care plan, outlined by themselves and their families, to get the most out of their experience with us. This plan details every aspect of care with specifics around the requirements and preferences of your loved one, including their emotional, social and spiritual needs. We tailor our provision of care to incorporate the smallest of details that make the most difference. This could be something as simple as taking note of moments in the day that bring our residents comfort or taking part in traditions close to their hearts.
Our residents are able to spend their time however they please, such as being pampered in the salon, enjoying connecting with nature in our lush gardens, or indulging in their favourite hobbies.

What is residential care?
Residential care is the provision of long-term care within a care facility for people who require support with their day-to-day lives, while maintaining their independence. The care provided can include activities, such as support with personal grooming and hygiene, dressing and management of medications.

It’s also important to read customer reviews and visit the premises to get a feel for the staff and atmosphere of the home.
Other steps you can take include:
Reviewing the staff:resident ratio
Ask to see the activity plans for residents
Ask whether residents are provided with a personalised care plan
Review the cleanliness and the maintenance of communal areas within the care home
Organise to spend time with residents to get a first hand account of their experience and ascertain how well they are cared for
