Residential care is for older people whose needs are low – people who do not need nursing or specialist care but who might need help washing, dressing and with other daily activities.
Many people choose to come into a residential home so that they can be alleviated from the necessity of daily chores and reserve their energies for more stimulating activities. At Red Roofs residential care home, we pride ourselves on connecting with our community to bring you a wealth of active opportunities, from theatrical performances and musical soirees, to petting exotic animals.
We can arrange transportation for trips and are delighted by our riverside living through our summer boating trips from Farndon Marina. Hairdressers or holistic therapist’s appointments can be arranged for you to feel pampered. We can help you retain existing pastimes as self-expression is key to good health. Our ‘life histories’ programme allows us to know your individual preferences ensuring our care is person centred, sensitive and affective.
There is much documented evidence to suggest that people’s lives are more fulfilling when living in a community. Community living reduces loneliness and isolation that can impede enjoyment of your later years.
Breaking bread with your neighbour in the dining room is a pleasurable way to socialise, but if you would like in room dining we are happy to serve to your needs.
Whilst we will always respect your rights to privacy we will gently encourage you to join group activities so that you can build lasting, meaningful friendships.
Our staff are sincerely welcoming and determined to help you get the most from your life.
Whilst many people choose a home that is local to them, some people like to move closer to family. Either way there is no reason to lose links to your friends and wider communities.
We can help. Each of our care homes have active resident’s associations. If you would like to join please speak to or email the registered manager.
I have nothing but praise for the staff at Red Roofs. They are so caring, helpful and always on hand for both the residents and their family. Nothing is too much for them to deal with.
They are always smiling and cheerful and treat the residents with love and respect. This applies to everyone that works at Red Roofs.
