Nursing Care

Nursing care is provided twenty-four hours a day to residents. Our knowledgeable and committed staff are able to nurse those residents with physical disabilities, those who are terminally ill, those who become infirm, and those with high dependency needs.

The Care Manager is assisted by professionally qualified nurses and care assistants. Each resident is allocated a nurse known as a primary nurse who will soon become a familiar face and will answer any queries or anxieties you or your relatives may have. In the absence of your Primary Nurse, another member of staff known as a Key Worker will care for you.

Should you require the assistance of a nurse at any time of the day or night, there is a call system fitted throughout the building including your bedroom, to allow you to receive immediate attention at the press of the button.

Information concerning your care and treatment will be strictly confidential and is not divulged without your consent. You may wish to retain your own G.P. but if this is not possible, we will help you with the choice of a local G.P.

In the event of either illness or an emergency only your next of kin will be notified, unless otherwise recorded in your personal care plan.

Physiotherapy

When physiotherapy is medically prescribed, your primary nurse will be pleased to arrange this service for you, or if you prefer, private arrangements can be made.

Podiatry

A podiatrist attends regularly, or if you prefer, private arrangements can be made.

Optical and Dental Services

Our staff will make the necessary arrangements should you require optical or dental treatment, inspection or advice.

Spiritual Care

We encourage visits by clergy of all denominations to visit Graceland to provide the spiritual needs of residents. There is a monthly service given within the home. Alternatively, you may wish to attend your own place of worship with family or friends if you are able.

Cuisine

One of the highlights of your day is the appetising meals prepared by our catering staff using all fresh produce.

Good, nutritious food and drink are important in keeping and improving your health. Our staff will soon get to know your food preferences, and any special dietary need is recorded in your personal care plan.

Our Breakfast, Two Course Lunch, Two Course Evening Meal and Home baking, combine to offer a splendid variety of choice. Each day you will have a choice of meal from a menu. Should you find that you do not like what is on offer that day, we will be happy to provide you with a meal of your choice.

Beverages and snacks are available throughout the day in the lounge areas.
Room service is also available.
