Care is provided by our experienced staff on a 24 hour basis, assuring our residents of attention and security. Care staff will spend a high proportion of their time in personal contact with residents simply as companionship or helping  with personal requirements or chores.
There is therefore a choice of independence, dependence or any degree between.

A key worker system is in operation to ensure continuity of care and all staff receive regular induction and training.

Daily routines will be as flexible, natural and homely as possible. Our aim is to make available a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with sufficient communal or individual activity as is desired.

Resident

's Plan of Care

At the time of admission to the home, we consult the resident and their relative, friend or representative if appropriate, to draw up a written plan of the care we will aim to provide. The plan sets out those objectives, and incorporates any necessary risk assessments.

At least once a month, we review each resident’s plan of care, setting out whatever changes have occurred and need to occur in future. From time to time further assessments of elements of the resident’s needs are required to ensure that the care we are providing is relevant to helping the resident achieve their full potential. Every resident has access to their plan and is encouraged to participate as fully as possible in the care planning and review process.

Privacy & Dignity

Residents are encouraged to regard Eothen as their home and are also encouraged to bring in their own furniture and personal items. Staff respect each individual’s private space and rooms are provided with lockable facilities and locks to each room.

Independence is encouraged to enable residents to preserve their dignity for as long as it is possible and all individual requests and daily wishes are respected.
