Are you on the lookout for a good nursing care home which specialises in providing personal care to elderly patients? Wondering how to ensure if the home you are choosing will provide holistic care to your elders? Checkout the slides that follow to learn a few useful tips and choose the best nursing care home for your loved ones!
UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENT
Consider the individual needs of the elderly person whom you are planning to place in a care home. Check if he or she has any specific health condition which demands special attention. Depending on the health conditions, decide on the appropriate equipment, staff qualifications and expertise essential for his/her individual care.
DO A THOROUGH RESEARCH
Conduct as much research as possible regarding the nursing care homes which cater to the needs of the elderly person. Prepare a series of questions to ask when you make contact with your shortlisted homes. Read the online reviews posted by the residents and family members of the nursing home about the services offered to have a clear picture of the facility. Investigate the CQC report of each home you’ve shortlisted. Don’t just rely on the CQC grade. The full report will give you a far clearer understanding of the home.
SEEK RECOMMENDATIONS
Get recommendations from friends, colleagues, neighbours and other family members who have prior experiences with nursing homes. Look for residents who have had positive experiences since it is always better to choose a good nursing home in Surrey which has earned a reputation for itself. Getting recommendations from residents can indeed be a powerful way to know if you are  choosing the right nursing home.
PAY ATTENTION TO STAFFÂ
Ensure that the care home has a team of highly trained professionals who play a great role in ensuring the wellbeing of the residents. Look for a facility where staff provide personal care to residents by understanding their physicality, psychology and emotions. Entertainment is important so seek a home which offers a wide variety of activities on a regular basis to ensure the overall wellbeing of your loved one.
MAKE VISITS
Visit the care home in person to get a positive feel for how your loved one will fit in there. You can make both scheduled and non-scheduled visits to have a first-hand experience. Unscheduled visits can give you a better insight of the care home in its natural state. Here at Huntington House we always invite people to pop in anytime for a chat.
