Our Mission

Georgian House Nursing Home is committed to providing the very highest quality of care for our residents. Care is at the heart of everything we do.

Our Purpose

We provide person centred care for our residents and their families with both dignity and respect for any life changing decisions they face. We respond to all individual needs for information, support and reassurance.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on the understanding that each of our residents is entitled to a level of care and respect that will allow them to continue to live their lives in our care home with dignity.

Environment

We will provide you with a homely, comfortable, safe and welcoming environment and will encourage you to be as independent as possible. We aim to offer you the opportunity to enhance the quality of your life by providing a high quality, safe and manageable environment which, together with support and stimulation from our well trained and caring staff, will maximise your physical, intellectual, emotional and social potential.

Social Activities

All residents are encouraged and helped to maintain hobbies and activities they wish to. Our activities programme includes arts and crafts, knitting, games and, where appropriate, physical activities. Many of our activities are 'visitor based' as we appreciate how important it is for our residents to feel that they are not cut-off from the outside world.

There are no restrictions or formalities on visiting, and friends and family are encouraged to visit and participate in any shows or parties which are taking place.

Musicians frequently visit, a production company visits four times a year and provides themed singing and dancing shows. There is an annual carol concert performed by local school children followed by a Christmas party and we are always looking for new ways to engage and entertain our residents.

However, even though we provide various stimulation and activities, we acknowledge there are always those residents who do not wish to be included. For these residents, we respect their right to exercise their own choices and control in their lives.

Catering

Our Chef takes great care in planning a varied menu of traditional home cooking for our residents.

The Home has a two week menu rota which is based on traditional British food and is changed approximately every two months. It includes fresh produce wherever possible. Lunch is generally served as the main meal of the day and individual's likes and dislikes are always catered for. Hot drinks and snacks are always available. The main aim of the Chef is to meet all the nutritional requirements whilst producing appetising and delicious dishes.

Residents can choose whether to take each meal in the dining room with their companions or in the comfort of their own room.
