Person-centred Approach
Every resident is treated with respect and dignity and we strive to maintain their independence and be sensitive to their ever changing needs and abilities. We encourage all our residents to exercise choice, wherever possible and for as long as possible, in all aspects of their daily life and in the continuous planning of their care. We value and encourage their opinions along with those of their families and all people we deal with here at Croft House.
Individualised care plans
All our residents and their families are encouraged to be involved in their individualised care plans which are monitored continuously.
Personal Care Services
At Croft house we have access to a wide variety of specialist practitioners who visit our home on a regular basis, or on whom we can call when required.
- We have a weekly visits from our local GP
- Our Chiropodist visits every 6 weeks
Nurse Call System
All rooms and bathrooms are fitted with our nurse call system. This is a simple but effective system where residents can call for assistance or call with an emergency.
Timely Food & Medicine
Your ultimate destination for all things related to health, nutrition, and wellness.
Here at Croft House we have an extensive program of activities for our residents. As well as activities organised by our staff we have many outside entertainers who visit us on a weekly or two weekly basis. Croft House owns its own minibus which regularly takes residents out on trips.
Oomph! began by going into care homes to give expert exercise and wellbeing sessions. Over the years, Oomph! evolved its offering to embrace digital technology.
We are very proud of the food we offer here at Croft House. We have 2 full time cooks and 2 kitchen assistants who prepare and cook all our meals fresh each day.
Our menus are done on a four weekly basis and are reviewed by a nutritional expert to ensure that all our meals are balanced nutritionally.
All diets can be catered for and any special needs or wants met. As part of our admissions procedure we will discuss food preferences and establish any like and dislikes.
Hot and cold drinks are available throughout the day with a refreshments trolley being served mid-morning, mid-afternoon and at bedtime. At these times residents are offered the choice of tea, milky coffee or lemonade. Mid-morning we offer homemade biscuits and mid-afternoon our trolley looks amazing with home cooked cakes on offer as well as fresh fruit.
Breakfast can be anything from toast and marmalade to porridge, cereal or kippers. A full English breakfast is served every Saturday and a full Sunday dinner every Sunday.
Our main meals tend to be served at lunchtimes with a lighter meal served at tea time. All relatives are welcome to stay and have a meal with their family member whenever they want – this can be either in the dining room or in the residents own room.
We have a “Fish and Chip” lunch every fourth Friday which we collect from the local Fish and Chip shop – all our residents love this and some prefer to keep it in the paper!
Our cooks make fabulous birthday cakes for every resident and we amend our menus for special occasions such as pancake day or Christmas. Alcoholic drinks are offered occasionally and they really do go down a treat!
Every Wednesday our cooks do baking with the residents which is something they really enjoy.
