Care Approach And Activities

Our Care Approach

Our team of trained staff deliver day-to-day care under the supervision of experienced senior carers. A GP from Downend Health Group visits the home weekly, ensuring residents have ongoing access to medical support. Any necessary medications for both existing and future conditions are prescribed by the GP and safely administered by our qualified care team.

Staff monitor residents' day-to-day health closely and respond promptly to any concerns. We can arrange transport for hospital appointments, and if family members are unable to attend, a member of our care team can accompany the resident (an additional charge applies for this service).

Each resident receives a personalised care plan, developed in collaboration with the individual and their family. These plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the resident’s evolving needs and preferences.

Our Activities

We believe in supporting our residents' independence and well-being through meaningful daily activities. Residents are encouraged to maintain control over how they spend their time, both within and outside the home, and to continue connections with friends, family, and their wider community.

Our weekly activities include:

1) Bingo sessions

2) Quizzes

3) Pamper afternoons

4) Group sing-alongs

Regular resident meetings are held to gather feedback and ensure that everyone feels heard, respected, and involved in life at Gwendoline House.
