Frequently Asked Questions

Medical

We actively encourage Residents, where possible, to retain the services of their own General Practitioner. Where distance or other practicalities prevent this, we can arrange visits to be made by a G. P. from a local N.H.S. practice.

Private medical attendance can be arranged for any Resident on request, if so required.

Q : What about my medication ?
A 1: With the elderly mentally ill, the control, administration and dispensing of Residents' medication is carefully supervised and monitored by the Home's Qualified Nursing staff.

A 2: With exception to elderly mentally ill, if you are presently taking your own medication then providing that their G.P. sees no reason why this should not continue, you are at liberty to keep your own drugs and take them yourself.

We do, however, keep and dispense Residents' medication in many cases and are happy to do this for you if you, your family or G.P. prefer.

Dentist and Optician
Residents are encouraged to continue with regular visits to their optician and dentist. The Staff will assist in making appointments. If necessary, a dentist or optician will visit Residents in the Home.

Chiropodist
We have a visiting chiropodist. Payment is made by Residents from their own resources if not covered by the N.H.S.. Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist.

Physiotherapy referrals are undertaken by a visiting physiotherapist whilst Occupational Therapy is normally conducted free of charge in-house.
