Philosophy
Our philosophy of care is to welcome each resident as an individual into a non-institutional home (home from home), one that is safe, caring, relaxing and happy, with a homely atmosphere, and one which represents and promotes the dignity and rights of privacy of each resident. We aim to encourage and enable residents to achieve their potential capacity physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Our dedicated team of staff work to the National Care Standards and will deliver care tailored to your needs. Staff will have, or will be working towards the appropriate qualifications to meet the regulatory governing body of the service. Staff will also be registered with the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme. Staff will liaise with other professional bodies where necessary in your best interest, and at all times keep you informed.
As an individual you will be able to live a full and active life in the Isobel Fraser Home, and we are committed to supporting you to achieve this. Our aim is for you to continue to make your own choices and decisions, participate with the wider community, maintain and develop relationships, enjoy valued, meaningful activities and empower you to achieve your full potential and remain as independent as possible.
You can retain the services of your own GP. If you have come from another area, in this instance you will be assisted to register with a local GP.
You will be informed of all the activities provided in the home. There are opportunities to go out into the community for shopping, local groups, cinema, and coffee.
