At The Victoria Grand Care Home, we are committed to providing care and support for our residents from the moment they enter. We understand that care homes can be a daunting experience for many people, so we endeavour to make it as comfortable and inviting as possible. In this blog, we will explore what we believe makes our Care Home stand out from other care homes in West Sussex.
Expert Carers
At The Victoria Grand Care Home, we employ a team of carers who are experts in their field. All carers have been trained to the highest standard and all hold all necessary qualifications. Our carers understand that care home residents require sensitive care and support, so all our carers are attentive to their needs and provide compassionate care at all times. In addition, our carers receive regular training updates to ensure they stay up to date with current trends in care home practice.
Residents become part of our family, so carers must form strong relationships with them. Our carers are caring and approachable, which helps to create an atmosphere of trust and care. Our carers are some of the best that you’ll find in the many care homes in West Sussex.
Dedicated Activity Team
At our Care Home, we understand that care home residents need stimulation and activities to promote physical and mental well-being. We have a dedicated activity team who ensure our residents enjoy their stay with us by organising a range of activities that cater to different interests. These include art classes, music therapy sessions, cooking classes, gardening workshops, fitness sessions and other social events such as movie nights or trips out into the local area.
Our activity team also offer reminiscence therapy for those living with dementia or memory loss – this involves providing stimulating activities that encourage our residents to recall memories and events.
Nutritional Meals & Dining Experience
At our Care Home, we understand that nutrition is essential in care homes in West Sussex. So, we ensure all meals are carefully planned by our chef using fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Our kitchen staff understand the special dietary needs of care home residents. They can provide meals that meet individual nutritional requirements. All meals are served in our bright and spacious dining room. This is accompanied by table decorations and background music for a pleasant atmosphere and dining experience.
We also offer afternoon teas, with freshly brewed tea or coffee, cakes and snacks!
Peace & Privacy
Something that should be important in all care homes in West Sussex is privacy. At our Care Home, we understand that peace and privacy are important for care home residents. We ensure all our care services are carried out concerning an individual’s dignity while they remain as independent as possible. Residents have access to their own rooms equipped with comfortable furnishings and personal belongings. Additionally, they have access to a garden area for those who like to enjoy some fresh air.
Are Pets Allowed in a Care Home?
Parting with a beloved pet can be distressing for care home seekers, which is why many care homes are pet-friendly and welcome pets. When researching care homes, ask the care home manager whether residents are allowed to bring their pet with them when they move in.
The Victoria Grand Family
Finally, we believe that care homes should promote a sense of family and community. At our Care Home, we encourage care home residents to look out for each other and support one another. Furthermore, we encourages carers to form strong relationships with our residents. We also have social events such as fundraising or summer picnics. These help to create an atmosphere of togetherness amongst care home residents. Our special environment is what makes The Victoria Grand one of the most special care homes in West Sussex.
