Personal Care

This Nursing home provides residential and nursing care for adults over sixty years of age, male or female.

Our dedicated and highly experienced team cater to a wide and varied range of age related conditions and illnesses.

As individual needs change, the appropriate level of care is offered by providing both residential and nursing care, meaning that the resident is able to remain in familiar surroundings and with staff who they have built up relations with and who know their individual histories.

At Flixton Manor Nursing Home we aim to treat each resident as an individual, and with respect and dignity at all times. Each resident has a named nurse and an individual care plan. The care plan will cover their personal and medical history as well as a record of the particular activities they enjoy and any cultural or religious aspects of their care.

The care that a resident receives will be based on the individual needs and because of this the assessment process and the care plan for the individual are seen as crucial.

Needs Assessment

Prior to any new resident entering the home, the qualified staff undertake a full assessment covering all aspects of needs to ensure that these needs will be met.

New residents that are referred through the Social Services will have also had an assessment compiled by their social worker which the home receives a copy of. 

A thorough assessment plan covers:

• personal care and well-being
• diet and weight, including dietary preferences
• sight, hearing and communication
• oral health
• foot care
• mobility and dexterity
• history of falls
• continence
• medication usage
• mental state and cognition
• social interests and hobbies
• religious and cultural needs
• personal safety and risk
• carer and family involvement

Each resident has a plan of care for daily living and longer term outcomes based on the assessment.
