Our Care
The comfort and well-being of our residents is at the heart of everything we do. No matter the care needs, our dedicated and caring team of highly skilled nurses and experienced carers are on hand to support residents twenty-four hours a day.
Our residents can exercise choice in all aspects of care and life. Our person-centred care approach means residents and relatives are actively involved in the assessment and evaluation of the care provided.
At Churchill House we provide Residential, Twenty-four hour Nursing, Respite, Dementia and Palliative Care. GPs from both local surgeries provide ward rounds and are happy to visit between times or as individual conditions require. We also have regular chiropody, dental, optician and physiotherapy visits.
DEMENTIA CARE
At Churchill House we are proud to specialise in Dementia Care and work closely with families and loved ones to develop a plan that allows residents living with dementia to enjoy the quality of life they deserve. We are proud of our high dependency unit called Chelmick Corner, where we can provide closer care and supervision for those residents living with advanced dementia or conditions that benefit from a higher staff ratio and more intimate environment.
At Churchill House Care Home residents’ freedom and preferences are always treated as a priority. We believe that forming a strong bond between residents and carers should be at the heart of what we do, and our team are trained to connect with residents in important and meaningful ways. This connection can be relied upon to enhance the feeling of familiarity, safety and respect.
RESIDENTIAL CARE
Our team members are here to ensure residents develop and live an independent life with as much or as little support as required. We believe in looking after more than just the care needs of our residents. We want to enhance general well-being, encouraging both active body and mind.
Residents may look to move to Churchill House to avoid the stress of upkeep and maintenance, or if care is needed throughout the day, our team are trained to ensure everyone is given as much, or as little support as they need.
NURSING CARE
We provide Twenty-four hour nursing care for our residents. Our passionate team of highly skilled nurses are fully trained to provide the highest standard of care to those with physical disabilities, high dependency needs and, when needed, professional and compassionate palliative care services.
CONVALESCENT AND RESPITE CARE
We know that sometimes everyone needs time out. Whether you care for a loved one or need a break yourself, you can truly relax knowing that a safe, welcoming environment and our experienced team are here for you.
Respite care is ideal for those looking for convalescence, either following a hospital stay or an illness. Many people also arrange a trial period to see if the home is the right choice for them as their new home.
At Churchill House we make sure that each of our residents enjoy a welcoming and enjoyable stay, whether it’s on short or long-term basis. We are committed to providing the care and support you need to provide you comfort.
PALLIATIVE AND END OF LIFE CARE
We support residents and family in the best way possible. When it comes to palliative and end of life care we adopt a holistic approach. This means providing relief from pain and other symptoms if required, along with emotional support to ensure quality of life in the last weeks or days of life is the best it can possibly be. We’d aim to avoid the discomfort of hospital admissions at this stage and endeavour to keep surroundings familiar and care consistent, by trusted professionals.
The home has also achieved Platinum Status, the highest accolade awarded under the Gold Standards Framework scheme specifically related to providing true excellence in end of life care. Churchill House adopts a systematic, common sense approach to formalising best practice so that quality end of life care is standard for every resident.
