5 Ways Care Homes Can Improve Quality of Life

Care homes are an increasingly popular choice of accommodation for elderly people, for several reasons. The transition into a care home can be beneficial for many reasons. Not only are they able to provide a sense of community and allow residents to continue to live fulfilled social lives within a safe environment, but also because they can offer excellent standards of care that simply cannot always be achieved in their home environments.

Contrary to popular belief, moving into a care home does not mean losing all of your independence, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Assisted living can help your loved one to remain independent while still benefiting from a range of services designed specifically for their comfort and well-being. With a whole host of activities to enjoy, residents in the right care home can truly thrive and their quality of life can improve.

Here at Jackman’s Lodge, our philosophy is for our residents to live full and active lives, growing and developing at every opportunity. We proactively encourage residents to make the most out of the benefits of assisted living. Our person-centred approach can dramatically improve their quality of life.

If you are still unsure about whether assisted living is the right option for yourself or your loved one, we’re on hand to answer any questions that you may have.

5 Benefits of Assisted Living

There are many advantages that come with choosing the right care home for your loved one.

1. Adapted housing

You can have peace of mind knowing that our residents are treated like family. Residents of Jackman’s Lodge have their own bright and homely bedrooms, complete with en-suite wet rooms for privacy and independence. Our spacious and welcoming communal lounge areas have been carefully adapted to ensure that residents can feel safe and at home whilst maintaining friendships.

2. Build friendships

Our residents can participate in a variety of activities around the home that enable them to build firm friendships with the other residents. Whether they would prefer to sit back and watch the television, play board games, take part in regularly organised activities or sit out in the sunshine in our beautiful garden, we understand that socialisation can truly improve quality of life.

3. Life’s luxuries

We believe in living life to its fullest and that is why we have an on-site hair and beauty salon so that our residents can enjoy a pamper whilst in the comfort of Jackman’s Lodge. Our beautifully maintained lawns and patio areas mean that residents are able to easily get outside safely and enjoy the sun and fresh air.

4. Person-centred care

Regardless of the level of care your loved one requires, you can have peace of mind knowing that they are being treated with the utmost care and attention. Our qualified and friendly team are always on hand to provide your family member with the love, support and care that they need. For us here at Jackman’s Lodge, it isn’t just about providing the basics, it’s also about creating those special moments to make your loved one’s day. Your loved one will be able to benefit from around-the-clock care at our care home.

5. Tasty and nutritious meals

A nutritious diet is not only good for the body, but it is also great for the mind. Your family member will benefit from well-balanced and delicious meals prepared fresh daily by our dedicated chef. They will no longer have to stress about planning meals or going food shopping, instead, they will be able to spend their time learning something new, relaxing or socialising with friends.
