Oxted Care Home

Care Philosophy Page

We constantly strive to reach extremely high standards and we have had three consecutive inspections from the Commission for Social Care and Inspection without any recommendations or requirements. We received a good score for the overall running and management of the home and an excellent score for staffing and our entertainments and daily living programme.

At Oxted House you can expect to be fully supported in a warm and friendly atmosphere where your needs and comfort are our first priority. We take great care to ensure that we understand your needs whatever they may be. The managers door is always open to go in to have a chat or voice any concern you or your family may have.

Regular Residents meetings are held where residents can voice their opinions on all aspects of their care and support. In respecting their choices we encourage them to be as independent as possible, which is why we call ourselves a Care Home. This is all formally documented and forms are completed in confidence by each resident to evaluate and ensure improvement in all areas.

ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE
Prospective residents will be invited to visit and meet the staff in order to assess the facilities and suitability of Oxted House before moving in on a one month trial basis.

New residents will be admitted on the basis of a full assessment undertaken by our experienced assessors, to which the resident, his/her representative and relevant professionals have been party.

For individuals referred through Social and Health Care, the summary of their existing assessment and Care plan will be taken into careful consideration.

Admission assessment will include: personal care & well-being, diet & weight including dietary preferences, sight, hearing and communication, oral health, foot care, mobility and dexterity, history of falls, continence, medication use, mental state and cognition, social interests, hobbies, religious & cultural needs, personal safety & risks, and family involvement. From the Admission procedure, a Plan of Care for Daily Living will be prepared, which will form the basis of the care to be provided, and will also provide a yardstick for measuring whether appropriate care is being delivered.
