Select your care home with confidence
We are the first to admit that moving into a care home is not something people will look
forward to. That’s why we do our best to help them settle in. But first, the family needs to
know that the care home they are choosing is a good fit for their loved one.
We have produced a condensed version of the checklist from the Alzheimer’s
Society for your benefit.
Consider the following when choosing between homes:
• The Staff – Are the staff attentive and welcoming? – Are you allowed to visit
unannounced? – Do the residents appear happy – are they talkative?
• The Building – Is there anything about the appearance, atmosphere, cleanliness or
furnish of the home that makes you question its upkeep? – Are there adequate transport
links and is the road noisy? – Is the building secure, so residents can’t put themselves in
danger? – Are toilets readily accessible?
• The Day – Do residents have access to their own entertainment, and the ability to be
alone? – Are residents supported throughout the day with activities? – Can residents
choose how often they wash? – Can you see a current menu for all meals, and do they
take into account your loved one’s dietary requirements? – Can a relative stay
overnight?
• The Future – What processes are in place to maintain relevant care plans? – Can the
resident stay in the home towards the end of life, or will they need to move again? – How
does the care home communicate with families?
This is a judgement call that only the family can make. We hope providing this information
helps you to make an informed decision.
We have tried to put all the relevant information about our care home on this website.
We are happy to take your questions and offer advice on this important choice.
