Improving Quality Of Life

If your loved one is feeling lonely at home, moving into a residential home could be everything they need to feel less isolated. Perhaps they are missing the company of a loved one that has recently passed and are having trouble adjusting to life without them.

We encourage all of our residents to continue pursuing their passions and hobbies from within our residential care home. Your loved one will be able to choose which activities they’d like to take part in and are completely in control of their social life. With our strong sense of community, they will never feel alone.

Struggling With Daily Tasks

If daily living tasks are a struggle for you or your loved one, it may be the right time for residential care. If they are struggling with tasks like getting dressed, going to the toilet, or getting out of bed, maybe they need some extra support. If family members are struggling to give you or your loved one the support needed with daily tasks, it’s likely time to look externally for support.

Safety Concerns

All of our elderly residents have their own rooms and are able to enjoy their hobbies and activities with safety measures in place. Each of our residents has a tailored care plan to their own individual needs. When you choose our residential care home in Surrey, your loved one will have as much support as they need, whenever they need it, with round-the-clock care available.

Health Support & Tailored Care Plans

If your loved one requires a large quantity of support with their health or daily living, a residential care home could be suitable. Maybe they need help managing their medication, support with their mobility, or are struggling with memory problems. Any of these could mean it’s time to consider assisted living or residential care. If your loved one is becoming confused or has recently had a needs assessment completed where the advice is that they need extra support, residential care could be their most suitable option.

If You Are A Carer & Need Support

It can be difficult providing round-the-clock care for a family member that constantly needs your support. Not only can it take a physical toll, but it can take a mental toll too. If you are the main care support for your loved one and are struggling to continue to meet their needs, it could be time to consider a residential care home. Although you may experience feelings such as guilt, you will begin to see how your loved one is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need at our residential care home in Surrey.
