ABOUT US
At Northmore we are continually striving to ensure that the care we provide to
the clients is suited to their individual needs. Regular assessments and
reviews achieve this with each client having their own personal care plan in
place. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are able to offer our clients care that
they would normally find within their own homes, if being looked after by
loving and caring families. This is achieved by the fact that we have staff that
is trained to ensure that the right care is delivered first time, every time.©Northmore Care Ltd 6
Northmore is a small ‘family style’ home registered to provide care to 9 older
clients over the age of 65 years. Currently we are registered to provide
services to 9 clients who fall into a ‘Dementia’ category. Accommodation includes 9 single bedrooms, each having its own washing
facilities. We also have 1 comfortable TV lounge, dining room,
conservatory/sun room and 2 bathrooms. There are also toilets within close
proximity to most bedrooms and communal areas. Remember
their bedroom is their own ‘personal space’ and having things around them
that remind them of family, friends and times gone by is very therapeutic and
rewarding. We do not object to prospective clients bringing with them small
pieces of furniture or personal items. There is also a small sheltered garden where clients can spend time, weather
permitting. The home does allow smoking as long as it is within the designated areas. All dietary needs are fully catered for and clients have a choice of meals to
choose from the varied menu. Religious and cultural preferences are fully
respected as far as diet and meal times are concerned. We also respect individual spiritual and religious beliefs and can include this
within the package of care including diet, prayer and special ceremonies
during then year. Ministers of religion can also visit the home if this is what
the client wishes. Access to religious services can only be guaranteed if
these services are within close proximity to the home
