You should have the opportunity to choose a home that suits your needs and abilities. In order for you to know that this is the right home for you, we will assess your needs with you and explain the services we offer to help you maintain as much of your lifestyle as possible and tell you about the other services we offer that might interest and benefit you. We also offer trial visits to prospective residents, where possible.
If you should choose Field House, it should feel like home and therefore we are happy to help furnish and equip your room in your own style. Should you wish not to bring your own furniture, the rooms are fully furnished in a light, modern and comfortable décor. We want everything we do in the home to be driven by the needs, abilities and aspirations of our residents, not by what staff, management of any other group would desire. We recognise how easily this focus can slip and we will remain vigilant to ensure that the facilities, resources, policies, activities and services of the home remain resident-led.
Our aims to exceed the professional guidelines recommended for the services the home should provide. We place the rights of our residents at the foremost of our philosophy of care.
In pursuit of the best possible care we will produce, with you, a service user plan of care, based on an initial and then continuing assessments. You will be given a member of staff as your ‘key worker’. This is to help you bond with a friend immediately within the home. Your key worker will answer your questions and make sure you are totally comfortable and settled. They will be aware of your abilities, disabilities and all of your preferences. They will continue to spend one-on-one time with you throughout your stay either just chatting or working on activities with you. This one-on-one time is particularly beneficial to residents with dementia.
We can tailor the care we provide to suit the client. The can including people with any of the following:
Field House is a residential home that caters for the elderly in all situations. We have residents that are unable to continue live at home alone and some that just enjoy the company a home like ours can offer.
Field House also offers non-residential services. These can also be in the clients’ own homes, where we will visit and help you in whatever way you need us, from household chores to personal care.
We believe keeping family connections are important, just like making new friends is as well. So we arrange coffee mornings and entertainment days open to all. We take part in village functions, host sponsored walks for charity and trips to local wildlife centres. These visits are open to residents, families and friends.
Each resident has a key worker who goes above and beyond to learn all about the person, who they are and what their younger life was like. This helps with stimulating minds through talking about their former professions and hobbies, for example, a keen gardener may want to help out in the garden.
