Looking For An Affordable Residential Care Home In Stoke That Absolutely Refuses To Compromise On Care Standards?
Chiltern Rest Home
When the time comes for your loved one to need full time residential care it can be very difficult and distressing for everyone.
You may feel a little guilt that you can no longer cope with looking after them at home, even though you want to. You might also have concerns over paying for the care or that they won’t be looked after like you look after them.
And let’s face it, no one really wants to move into a care home so your loved one might even refuse to go, despite the obvious need.
Choosing The Right Home Will Mean Happiness For Both You And Your Loved One
Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a care home that looks after your loved one with the same loving care that you do? A home where they’ll fit right in, make new friends and actually really enjoy life.
That's exactly what you'll find at Chiltern Rest Home.
Why Full Time Care At Chiltern Rest Home May Be The Best Choice You Could Make For Your Loved One
We believe at Chiltern we've created the ideal environment for your elderly loved one to re-discover their joy in life and to get the best out of their later years.
Here's why.
- We’re a small community where everyone knows each other and looks out for each other
Chiltern's small 19 bed size means that all the staff know all the residents and all the residents know each other. There’s a genuine community feel to the place and this really helps our residents to enjoy life more, especially if they’ve previously lived alone for a number of years and have been unable to get out much. It can be quite a revelation and many residents comment they wish they’d moved in much earlier! - The home has a familiar friendly style, just like their own home
If your loved one has come from the local community the chances are they don’t live in a huge house and wouldn’t feel particularly at home in one. Large corporate ‘Travel Lodge’ style homes may seem attractive to us, the younger generation, because we’re used to them.
However, for mum or dad they can seem like large, anonymous, intimidating, institutional style buildings that are a world away from what they’re used to.
They’re so big that you can’t get to know everyone and rattling down those long corridors to see those you do know can be a real chore.
They’ll feel much more at home with the cosy, comfortable, traditional feel of the rooms at Chiltern where everything is easily accessible and you don’t need a walkie talkie just to hold a conversation across the living room. - We employ nice people. We don’t employ people to 'be nice'
Your loved one needs to know, like and trust our staff members completely if they are to feel comfortable in letting them care for them - and so do we.
So, we have a stringent, in-depth recruitment procedure to ensure that only the most caring and understanding of individuals get to care for your loved one. They are selected not because they want a job, rather because caring for people is their vocation.
This is truly important and regularly over looked in larger homes where there is often a regular turnover of staff and high pressure to recruit and fill a large workforce. - They’ll enjoy traditional home cooking & great fun activities
There’s always something fun and engaging for your loved one to get involved in at Chiltern Resthome. We don’t need much of an excuse for a party and have had great fun with Wimbledon tennis days with lots of strawberries and cream and Derby days with everyone ‘betting’ on their own horse.
We pride ourselves on being friendly and helping our residents to regain their independence and enjoyment of life through providing daily activities that they used to like but have stopped doing recently. Things like visiting the shops, doing arts and crafts, playing bingo or even popping down to the local pub.
Then there's the delicious mouth watering food which eveyone looks forward to.
So at Chiltern your loved one will continue to enjoy some of the most important things in life: friendship, fun and true home cooking at it’s best - the way it’s always been done!
