Our commitment to care
Our staff are dedicated to caring for our residents, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We use the very best evidence-based practice to ensure we offer the highest quality nursing care, as well as a vibrant atmosphere that encourages an active, fulfilling daily life.
The provision of care is based on making sure our nursing and healthcare assistants are properly supported to give the kind of personal care our residents need. We invest in regular training, procedures and standards across hygiene, mobility, nutrition and recreation so that our residents’ needs are met and they feel safe, secure and well looked after.
Active interests
At Nephin Nursing Home, we want our residents to live each day to the full. Our staff encourage them to continue to enjoy their own interests and hobbies. Art, craft, exercise, music and games – we offer a wide range of activities to cater to regular pastimes, or take up fresh pursuits.
Our dedicated Activity Coordinator works closely with our Director of Nursing to understand individual residents’ likes and dislikes, as well as their particular medical and personal requirements, with specific support for residents with dementia. We tailor fulfilling programs that give our residents plenty of reasons to look forward to every day.
Our timetabled programs are supplemented by plenty of impromptu activities, so there’s always something residents can join in with, if they wish.
Putting our residents first
Our philosophy is simple – our residents are at the centre of everything we do. We observe person-centred care, which means our staff and healthcare providers work together as a team with our residents to develop a care plan that really understands their situation.
We welcome input from family and friends, and every plan is subject to regular three-monthly reviews, or more frequently if required, to make sure every resident is getting the care and treatment they need.
Pastoral care
Finding comfort and support in spiritual community is important to many of our residents. We make sure that every resident has access in a way they choose. We regularly host ministers of religion from a range of faiths in our home, and Mass is also celebrated every week, together with a Eucharist service.
