Care and support Everyone has a fundamental right to retain their personal dignity and independence, irrespective of the severity of their physical or mental infirmity. At The Vicarage, each resident's social, emotional, religious, cultural and political needs are fully accepted and respected. Each resident has a plan of care tailored to their own physical, social and psychological needs. The plan is regularly reviewed, with input from the resident, relatives and appropriate care professionals. We are working towards being a provider of Person-Centred Care, which will enable us to provide specialist, researched care, emphasizing the individual as a whole person and not just as a dementia sufferer. We seek to provide an environment which enables the individual to maintain independence and exercise freedom of choice whilst maximising privacy and dignity, and encouraging a fulfilling life. Our open visiting policy means that friends, relatives and other visitors are welcome to visit at any time. Residents are free to receive visitors in one of the lounges or in their own room at any time. We welcome comments from anyone visiting the Home, as this helps us to evaluate our service and monitor our care practice. Please speak to the Manager or any member of senior staff; or if you prefer, please put your comment in writing.

A wide range of activities, outings and events We make regular visits to local places of interest, including Blists Hill, The Quarry, Acton Scott Working Farm, The Dingle, and Secret Hills Discovery Centre. Residents also enjoy local walks to the nearby garden centre, shopping trips, visits to the local pub and walks around The Common. We also organise a range of activities within the home, including both craft and exercise sessions, gardening and cookery.
|
Meals & catering We provide a varied and balanced diet; and we are always happy to accommodate residents' individual dietary requirements. In addition to the three main meals of the day, we also offer mid-morning and mid-afternoon drinks with biscuits, as well as an additional light supper if required.
|
Hairdressing and other services Together with visiting specialists, we offer a range of services to residents. These include hairdressing services and chiropody, as well as a full complement of healthcare arrangements. We are pleased to organise other services each resident requires on an appointment basis. |
Fully trained and caring staff As a care home providing nursing care, we have two Registered Nurses on call 24 hour a day. We have a mix of skills and qualifications which enhances the expertise of our team. Qualifications include:
All our nurses have post-registration qualifications including: Teaching; Care of the Elderly; Taking Blood; Managing Challenging Behaviour, and many others. Our Senior Carers have, or are working towards, NVQ level III in Care, and the majority of our remaining Carers have, or are working towards, level II. In conjunction with our training programme, our care staff attend a variety of courses, and all new Carers undergo an induction process approved by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Wherever practicable, it is our aim to have eight Carers on duty throughout the day and five during the night. Additional staff supervise the lounge areas and assist during meal times. In addition to full-time Nursing and Care staff, our ancillary staff - two qualified and experienced cooks, kitchen assistants and maintenance person - supply all of the support services needed to provide our residents with a safe and homely environment.
|
Comprehensive healthcare arrangements Residents may, of course, continue to use the services of their own doctor (if still in the same NHS area), or they may choose to join the list of local doctors that serve Vicarage Care Home. Community nurses offer attention whenever required, and our own qualified staff are able to dispense medication under the supervision of the local pharmacist. Other specialists visit the home where necessary to provide chiropody services, physiotherapy, dental and optical treatment.
