Temple Croft

 

Care Home

 

We have a wide range of services available to meet all long term and short term caring needs for the elderly including residents suffering from dementia.  These include long term residential for singles or couples who are no able to cope at home and require assistance and/or companionship.  

 

We are also able to offer short term respite care which can range from one week to several weeks whilst perhaps an individual or their carer needs a break or recuperation we can also meet the needs of clients who may require continual respite every eight weeks or so by placing a booking in advance.

 

The home is able to offer sitting service. This will give the carer a break and give their relative a change of scenery and give them a chance to meet other people, giving them something to talk about when they go home. Normal day care, extended day care and even hourly care can be provided with previous arrangement.

 

Temple croft is not a Nursing Home but the staff are perfectly competent to look after residents with simple ailments which could be treated in their own home.  Our Senior Carers have received training in medication and are able to administer medications prescribed by doctors at the right time.  

 

 

Where possible the client remains in the care of their own doctor and dentist, but if the client has moved out of their own GP’s area, then other arrangements can be made with one of the local GP.  In addition to the GP’s that visit the Home when necessary, we have a regular pharmacist, district nurses and other health professionals  that treat our residents should they need help.

    

We encourage trial visits so that potential clients can experience life at Temple Croft.  Visitors are always welcome and can join clients for a meal or spend a couple of hours meeting other residents and experiencing activities.
