Care
We are acutely aware of the sensitivities of the Asian culture and religious beliefs and our style of care reflects this. Our staff are specifically recruited with the correct language skills to be able to communicate with our Asian residents and to be aware of specific needs such as same sex carers.The cornerstone of our care policy is to ensure the privacy and dignity of our residents is retained.
We provide a holistic approach to care which is complemented by outside professionals including GPs, chiropodists, dentists and opticians.
Many of our residents will have used traditional or herbal medicines at home and wherever possible, with the agreement of the GP, we will continue to use such preparations.
Activities
Our aim is to always provide a full and varied Activities Programme which is planned in consultation with the wishes of the residents. Special arrangements are made for birthdays and other celebrations, such as satsangs in our prayer room to garden parties in our beautifully maintained sensory garden. A variety of programmes are held over the popular Asian festivals.Our prayer room is open to all denominations and is meant to be a place for quiet contemplation. At times it can also be a social place to hold small group prayers. The home's dedicated Activities Co-ordinator ensures that all faiths are well catered for in term of events within the home as well as external visits.
Our dedicated media room is equipped to host film shows including many Bollywood classics and a variety of Asian programmes.
We always extend a warm welcome to families and friends to visit and take part in our varied and interesting social activities. In fact, it is this participation that enables our community to grow and thrive.
Food
Good food is one of life's greatest joys and we pride ourselves in providing traditional home cooked Asian food. Food not only provides pleasure and sustenance but also defines who we are. Our menus reflect our residents' choice so as to provide them with food that they are comfortable with, but at the same time ensuring that they are nutritionally balanced.Our unique menus cater for different Asian ethnic groups with a choice of dishes at every mealtime. All the meals are freshly prepared by our expert cooks in our modern kitchens. Our cooks can provide all the popular regional Asian cuisines including Gujarati, panjabi and South Indian.
We are aware that many elderly residents are strict vegetarians and accordingly we have a separate, fully vegetarian kitchen ensuring that all ingredients, appliances and utensils are kept apart.
