Nursing Care
Our Registered Nursing Homes provide high quality and person centred care for those residents with nursing needs. Our qualified and experienced nurses provide 24 hours nursing care giving that support and reassurance that means so much to our residents and their families.
We also provide palliative care; we know the importance in making sure we continually asses and meet the needs of the resident and their families at this time, giving support, comfort and reassurance.
Our Nursing Homes are highly equipped, meeting all regulations and standards. They are also fully accessible throughout.
We pride ourselves on the Dementia Care we provide in our homes. We go that extra mile to ensure that our staff have the latest training which starts with our managers and is cascaded down through all departments. We provide care for those effected by all types of Dementia and Alzheimer’s including Vascular, Frontal Lobe and Lewy Bodies.
We keep up to date with the latest research papers and articles from experts in these fields which enables us to create specifically designed engaging and stimulating environments and décor.
Some of the tools we use are:
Reminisce Therapy, using person centred memory boxes and memory apps
Music Therapy: using IPods and Tablets
Doll Therapy, a sensitive programme which aims to bring comfort and joy to those who use them.
Cognitive, Creative and Physical Activity Programmes
It is also important to us that we cascade our knowledge and experience on to others.
We work with families and friends to ensure we provide them with the support and knowledge that they need. We are always here to answer questions or help them to continue to have that special bond with their loved one.
Our Dementia services are important to us and a promise we have made is to have a Dementia Champion in all of our homes. Our Dementia Champions hold Dementia Friends sessions, for staff, families and friends and the local community, helping to inform and spread the message that is the initiative of the Alzheimer’s Dementia Friend programme.
What we do well, is knowing the people who come to live with us and call our homes “a home from home”.
Our homes are adept at providing Person Centred Care and part of the Regal Experience is ensuring that we get to know the residents as best we can.
Before and during the period that a resident moves in to one of our homes, our staff take the time to ask them, their family and friends all the important questions ensuring that we are able to provide them with a holistic care package and lifestyle that they deserve. Knowing their needs, history, hobbies and lifestyle means that we can deliver the best possible care for each of our residents as not only individuals but also as a person.
Respite Care / Day Care
We also offer all of the above as a Respite Service in some of our homes which can be booked in advance or in an emergency. The regularity of this service depends on the home and the availability of beds.
Our Day Care Services can meet the needs and requirements of both the resident, care giver or their families. The service is person tailored in every aspect; from the length of visit, what day and extends to the type of service whether it be for the Leisure and Social programme or to use our personal care facilities.
Our main objective is to ensure we meet the needs of the individual person at all times.
People with learning disabilities are a very mixed group with different experience and different support needs. Some people only need limited support to lead an independent life, whereas others need a very high level of support.
Whatever the individual’s care requirements, at Regal we will make sure we work with them to ensure they receive top quality care and support.
