ABOUT LOCAL CARE HOME - OLD BARN CLOSE


5 Old Barn Close is an adapted bungalow providing residential care for five people with learning disabilities. The home specialises in end-of-life support for its residents, many of whom have complex medical needs. This includes offering care to people with dementia, upon assessment. We believe in a flexible approach to care because the home provides care to the older generation who’s needs change over time as they age. Being a long-term home, the staff are able to build their understanding of the residents’ needs and work to meet those needs to provide high quality person-centred support.

 

The motto of the home is that age isn’t a barrier to enjoying yourself and all staff aim to ensure activities are available which are appropriate to the residents’ abilities. We encourage all residents to get involved in the community and to develop and maintain relationships, friendships and contact with families. Family members and friends are always welcome to visit.

 

The residents at 5 Old Barn Close are not able to communicate verbally but we believe that this should not hinder their ability to express themselves. All residents are encouraged to add personal touches to their rooms and to make decisions about their daily life, such as what foods to eat.

 

All our residents are treated with the upmost dignity and respect and we are dedicated to providing top quality personal care tailored to the needs of each individual resident. Staff are fully qualified in all aspects of intimate personal care, including bathing, hair washing, feeding and changing incontinence pads, and the home is equipped with the most up-to-date facilities for administering such care. Facilities include adapted baths, a full wet room, overhead hoists and commodes. The home is fully accessible for wheelchair users and those with physical disabilities. All residents are encouraged to be as active as possible around the home.
