Our care
At Broadmead Residential Home
Specialist Dementia Care
Based in Woolton Hill, Newbury
Broadmead Residential Home specialises in providing care and support for people with Dementia. Having dementia champions within the home, we are used to dealing with the confusion and communication issues that can arise for people with dementia. We focus on the unique needs and abilities of every individual, ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect at every step.
As well as offering dementia-friendly settings with opportunities to reminisce, our activities coordinator ensures that residents have the opportunity for sensory stimulation, using music, smells, textures and exercises to help stimulate the memory, ease confusion and prompt communication.
Under 65s/early-onset dementia care
At Broadmead, our specialist dementia training equips us to work with younger people with early-onset dementia. Every person’s experience of dementia is different and unique and we understand that younger people with dementia may need different support to our older residents. Our approach focuses on the needs of the individual.
Our person-centred approach
Our team takes a person-centred approach to care and care planning. We understand that everyone’s needs are different, which is why we work closely with residents and their families to understand their needs and develop a personalised support plan, which evolves as their needs change.
Residential care
A range of communal spaces for socialising and activities
As well as offering dementia care, many of our residents choose to move to Broadmead Restidential home to improve their quality of life, reduce loneliness or gain support with daily living tasks. Residential care takes away the burden of tasks such as cooking and cleaning and allows residents to enjoy the company of others.
Our safe and person-centred approach values independence while offering a comfortable alternative to living alone, which also meets the medical, emotional and physical needs of the people who chose to live with us.
Mental Health Care
Practical and emotional support that is tailored around the specific needs
Broadmead provides care to those who have diagnosed mental health conditions. We offer practical and emotional support that is tailored around the specific needs of the individual. Our staff team is trained to look for signs of change or deterioration in these conditions and to adjust care plans to offer prompt and safe treatment. To support this, we have close connections with mental health teams with trained Mental health nurses and consultants who can provide support and guidance when needed.
Whether there’s a history of mental health conditions or not, physical changes associated with getting older can impact wellbeing, making a holistic approach vital. At Broadmead, we work hard to ensure that residents stay active and avoid the social isolation and loneliness that are a common cause of depression in older people.
Residents are treated with respect and dignity and every effort is made to meet each individual’s needs. There are daily activities for the residents and help is
give to those who are less able so that they can participate. The food is excellent and plentiful. When my mother-in-law woke in the middle of the night she was often brought some sandwiches and a cup of tea!
Their medical care is excellent and any health concerns are quickly referred to the doctor or nursing team who respond very quickly.
End of life care
Handling end-of-life care with dignity and respect
We take a sensitive and caring approach to end of life care, ensuring that medical, emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met. Our team is chosen for their unrivalled compassion and integrity, resulting in end of life care which is both dignified and caring in equal measure. We also provide care and support to families at this difficult time and will be happy to answer any questions or provide practical and emotional support during your time of need.
