Care Services
Care Services : Making the Right Choice.
All too often we see elderly frail residents having to make urgent, life changing decisions about moving into a care home, particularly when their life has been touched by a crisis, perhaps after a fall or sudden illness, or the death of a carer. Many feel pressured to make choices or decisions - if the care homes close to their home town have no vacant rooms - or are not able to meet their specific care needs, residents are often forced to take second best. If you think you or a relative might need a care home in the future, it is a good idea to do some planning now, so that you'll be well informed and know what to do should the need arise.
Many of our residents have chosen to make a Tanglewood Care Home their permanent home, others stay with us for a short period of respite care, or to convalesce after a hospital stay. Tanglewood's high standards and personalised service means that our residents can feel safe and secure in a sheltered environment. Whether a resident needs support with everyday tasks or 24-hour assistance, the care provided in any Tanglewood Care Home is designed to build upon individual strengths and will constantly seek to improve each resident's quality of life.
Philosophy of Care
At Tanglewood Care Homes we aim to create a sheltered environment in which residents can maintain their independence and rights as individuals. We recognise our residents need for privacy and personal choice.
Treating residents as individuals
In all Tanglewood Care Homes we encourage a full and active lifestyle for each resident. Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and encouraged to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We want residents to feel at home and rules and regulations be kept to a minimum.
A friendly homely atmosphere ensures that everyone is able to continue their daily life with personal privacy and dignity.
