We have 45 single rooms at Threeways, and many of them have en suite facilities. The bedrooms are well equipped and all have televisions, telephones and nurse call bell systems. Residents are encouraged to bring their own personal items to their rooms, so that they have a sense of being at home and locks are provided on their storage space where valuable items can be kept.

We predominantly offer nursing care. However, we have four rooms which offer residential care and are for service users requiring personal care only.  These are ideal for residents only needing residential care,  being able to move in to a nursing room, when their needs change without having to change homes.

We are able to supply specialised moving and handling equipment, pressure mattresses and cushions.  We also have specialist shower and bathing facilities available.

The daily care programme is organised as a response to residents’ individual and combined needs.

• At Threeways we provide meals which enable residents, where possible, to decide what, where and when they eat.

• We offer a programme of leisure activities from which to choose

• We help residents to retain flexibility in their daily routines so that they, to some extent, manage their own timetables whilst fitting into communal timetables as well.

• We respond to residents intellectual, artistic and spiritual values and practices of every resident

• We respect our residents religious, ethnic and cultural diversity

• We encourage them to make new friends, have personal liaisons and enjoy communicating with existing friends.

We are able to offer the following services:-

• Laundry - is done on a daily basis so it is unnecessary to bring large amounts of clothes. Please mark all clothes with resident’s name.

• Hairdressing* - the hairdresser visits our home on Wednesday, or residents can have their own hairdresser if preferred.

• Religious Services – provided twice a month, delivered by different local ministers of various denominations.

• Chiropody* – a Chiropodist visits every six weeks or three monthly depending on need.

• Physiotherapy* -  a physiotherapist visits our home and appointments can be made if required.

When you enquire about a possible residency in our care home, we will send you a brochure and would encourage you or your family to visit us.

Prior to your admission, a pre-admission assessment will be carried out to ensure that we can meet all your nursing needs.

On admission, to make the resident feel that they are moving “home from home”, we encourage relatives and friends to bring in a few familiar possessions.  Every effort will be made to reduce the resident’s anxieties immediately on arrival.

In the first few weeks, staff will have the opportunity to get to know the resident and ascertain their personal needs and preferences to ensure our home is the right fit for them. Care plans with be written and agreed with the resident and their relative(s) so that we are putting the resident at the heart of all we do and ensuring person centre care.
