RESIDENTIAL care

RESIDENTIAL CARE

Residential Care can be described in varying ways but is often provided in general “Care Homes.” It is designed for those who require basic assistance and support with their everyday lives or may be experiencing loneliness at home, especially following the loss of a loved one. However, individuals in residential care do not require daily nursing care but may need extra support to maintain their independence.

Residential Care can vary from short-term (respite) to long-term stays. Respite stays are ideal for those who need low-level care and typically rely on family for support, but whose family may be away on holiday or temporarily unable to assist. Christmas tends to be a popular time for those considering respite stays, as it offers an opportunity to enjoy companionship, take part in festive activities, and receive support with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and personal care.

SPECIALISED RESIDENTIAL CARE

Residential Care is very different to Nursing Care and Dementia Care. It is for those with very low level needs and not suitable for those suffering with Dementia. However, Residential Care still provides 24 hour care to assist those living there. It

Our residential communities are designed for people who may not need 24-hour nursing care but are unable to live quite as independently as they once did.

Whether someone may need help with their medication routine to having support for personal care, our dedicated care team will be on hand 24 hours a day to assist.

As sometimes care needs may increase, our trusted care team will be on hand to offer further support if needed and recommend help from the community in the form of Physiotherapy, District Nurses or Opticians

THE AURA WAY

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS OF OUR RESIDENTIAL CARE?

At Aura Care Living we are proud to offer various forms of long-term and short term (respite) residential care for people who may require assistance and support with all the activities of day to day living or who may simply require companionship. Our residential packages are fully inclusive, providing care, housekeeping, laundry and all meals including wine or a favourite tipple at meal times. We will also work with people’s strengths and capabilities by encouraging and promoting independence which leads a greater sense of wellbeing.

We provide a vast range of both in house and community activities and our residents can be as active as they choose on a daily basis. This tailor made programme takes into consideration people’s needs, capabilities and wishes.

Aura Care Living places a great emphasis on the person then, as well as the person now and combine this information to help people live their lives to the fullest in our communities.

We offer a home for life and therefor if the persons care needs or general wellbeing decline over time we will be able to continue to provide the highest level of care in our nursing or dementia community which provides a smooth transition for those in our community.

Review from A D (Granddaughter of Resident)

Absolutely lovely care home. Staff are always really friendly and helpful. My nan is very well cared for and respected. Often told how she is one of the staff's favourites which is lovely to hear! Very well decorated home right from the reception all the way to the residents' bedrooms and bathrooms. Nothing is ever too much trouble!

Review from K M (Son of Resident)

Mum went to Stratton Court 3 years ago on respite. She quickly made it her home. As her health deteriorated her care needs increased. Mum had a DNR in place and was adamant she did not want to go to the hospital but to spend her last days at Stratton Court. She got her wish and my wife was by her side when she passed. I would like to thank everyone for their outstanding love and care the nursing they gave to Mum. You truly made it her home. We were overwhelmed by all your support.

The help I had from my carers getting me back to good health was second to none. They are now friends for life, their love and devotion to their job was and is admirable.

Review from Susan N (Daughter of Resident)

My mother continues to receive excellent care and attention at Stratton Court. She is very happy, secure and her needs are met by very caring staff. As a family we feel we could not have made a better choice as we know she is in good hands and her health is well maintained and attended to. She is encouraged to be mobile and join in activities and enjoy the company, food and comfortable environment.

Review from Carol W (Daughter of Resident)

A massive thank you to all the staff. What a difference you made not just in my dad's life but ours too. He called it home, which it had become. His every need was met, you all welcomed him and made him feel safe. Nothing was too much trouble. He was fussy with food but you took that on and exceeded his wishes. When I talk to other people about King's Lodge and how happy my dad was. They say what a difference it is to hear so many positive things. I truly appreciate the love and support you gave us as a family when he sadly didn't wake anymore. Manager and Deputy Manager you made him a home with love and support I will always be grateful.

Review from Louise W (Daughter of Resident)

Mum has been at Kings Lodge for 4 years and she is very happy and settled on one of the dementia units. She is so very well looked after by the wonderful caring staff that work so hard looking after the residents. The activities team also do a fabulous job organising so many different entertainers coming in and all the activities for the residents to watch or get involved in. All the staff are so caring, friendly and welcoming and it's so nice to know my mum is safe and being so well looked after by this lovely team. Thank you all so much.

Review from Caire J (Wife of Resident)

My husband went into the lodge for respite care. Our daughter and I visited the lodge it was the unknown and a particular member of staff made us feel so at ease as did all the staff they all said hello. It was a massive step for us all, but all the staff made us all feel so very welcome, another staff member and her team were just fantastic with my husband and I, nothing was too much trouble. She always supported me when I was upset and has been such a strength to us, thank you to her. It has been lovely meeting the other residents to and doing activities, the activity coordinators are amazing. Great fun was had by all. Everyone there at Kings Lodge is just brilliant the kindness and how thought they all are is just amazing, It's great how they remember names too. Always smiling, couldn't have wished for a better place for my husband to have respite. I know that if things change I would choose Kings Lodge as it's so reassuring how lovely the staff are and the caring side of things too. Thank you the managers and all your staff.

Review from Clare P (Granddaughter of Resident)

Amazing place for my nan the best thing we ever did was to put my nan into Kings Lodge my nan loves all the staff there they always make her laugh and smile. I visited Kings Lodge to have a look around for my nan, when I got there I was greeted by the staff in reception who are so lovely, I met both of the managers they were also very lovely and made us all feel welcome and made us part of their family. The staff are so happy and friendly and always stop to talk to us ask us how our day has been they all communicate very well. The whole place was clean and smelt really nice and clean also key-coded doors so no one can just walk in and out. Fantastic place.

Review from Jay T (Brother of Resident)

From my first contact with making arrangements to secure a place for my Brother at Kings Lodge, I was very impressed. It's beautifully reminded me of a 4-star hotel. My Brother moved in September 24 and he absolutely loved it, and immediately felt at home. The management team and reception staff are exceptional, I was welcomed with every visit with a cup of coffee and a chat if I wanted and always made to feel welcome, I felt part of their family. As for the nurses they were incredible, my Brother was terminally ill and this was to be his final resting place, and I know he wouldn't have wanted to of been anywhere else. My brother was a prickly character but the staff just took it all in their stride, they sat with him and talked when he needed to, sang with him and when he was able, danced with him and when he was nearing the end they held his hand and stayed with him, how beautiful was that. When he passed we all cried together, what kindness and humanity these wonderful staff demonstrated.
