Residential and Nursing Care
Personalised, Professional Care in a Safe and Supportive Setting
Our care homes are designed to support all residents to live a fulfilled life. Dedicated 24-hour care in a high-quality, homely setting ensures that both short-term and long-term residents can concentrate on recovering or relaxing. At Oval Care, we get to know each of our residents, learning their life stories, likes and dislikes to offer truly personalised care and support.
What is residential care?
Residential care is 24-hour, long-term care offered in a care home. Predominantly, residential care homes are designed for the elderly with low care needs, who need considerable assistance with day-to-day tasks.
Residential care homes offer a safe place for elderly people, who are looked after according to their needs, such as help with washing, mobility and medication. They're designed to be homely, with the opportunity to take up hobbies, enjoy regular activities, and facilitate older people in living meaningful lives.
Residential carers ensure that residents always have someone on hand to help with daily life activities. Each individual is treated as such, and has a tailored care plan inclusive of their individual dietary requirements, hobbies and life stories. Care homes are very much a community within themselves, and the opportunities for socialisation and group activities are hugely valuable in helping to combat loneliness.
Families of residents can also have peace of mind that their loved one is well cared for, and in a sociable and enriching environment.
