Services

Camelot Rest Home offers a high standard of culinary service and always includes a choice of all meals.

We have a menu designed with the help of service users and further developed by our skilled cooks. Special diets for cultural, religious or medical reasons are catered for. Drinks and snacks are available at any time of the day or night.

Each day, our service users are personally asked what they would like for their meals and show plates are presented during main meals. If, for any reason, they do not wish to have either of the choices of the main course on offer, an alternative will be provided.

We encourage service users, where appropriate, as part of their care plan, to be actively involved in looking after their own bedroom to promote independence.

Age is no barrier to recreational activities. We have a well- stocked storage of card and board games and other activates for our service users to enjoy as and when they wish. We periodically have music days and movie days, which is much enjoyed by our service users and relatives and friends. We often arrange group events/parties for all to enjoy.

We also engage a professional entertainer every month who gives sessions on movement to music, The home organises trips for those service users who express interest, to local pubs for lunch or shopping trips. During summer months we have garden party’s and trips to the local parks. At anniversaries and birthdays we always put on a spread and provide a cake and card and at Christmas we have a large gatherings to include relatives and friends several times in the month with service user input.

Service users have the choice of remaining with their own General Practitioner (GP), if this is practicable, or they may wish to register with one of the local practices. At present most of our service users are registered with our local surgery, which provides an excellent service. The doctor visits when required and a virtual ward round is completed every week to assist service users, then 3 monthly face to face reviews are completed. This provides access to the community nursing service as and when this is needed. 

District nurses visit the home almost every day and once a referral is completed complete reviews as and where required an NHS chiropodist visits the home every three/four months and arrangements can be made for an private chiropodist at an appropriate charge. 

An private chiropodist visits the home every six weeks at an appropriate charge for service users who would like to be seen. 

The services of an optician are available on a regular basis and annual eye tests arrangements. 

The service of an dentist are available on a regular basis and annual check ups are available.

At Camelot we place great importance on safety matters. All equipment and furniture throughout the building is flame resistant or retardant. Our efficient fire alarm system is maintained regularly and staff receive specialist training.

We treat the security of our service users as a very important issue. Our main front door is locked and a keypad alarm is set during the day and night to prevent unwanted intrusion in to the home. To ensure the safety of our service users our external fire exit doors are linked to the alarm call system. We have installed movement reactive lighting to the sides and rear of the property and a CCTV system external of the building so that we are immediately aware of any intruders and safety monitoring.

Our housekeeping service includes for example: the cleaning of all communal areas, the cleaning of a service user’s private bedroom at a time that is convenient, laundry, and general maintenance. we do aim to encourage service users to try to keep their independent space as clean and tidy as able
