When finding a care home for yourself or a friend or family member, it can be difficult to fight through the noise to find the right care home for your needs. Select Healthcare provide a range of specialist services in our care homes with homes dedicated to specific areas of care, here are just some of the types of care homes and care home services we provide.

Who Are Select Healthcare?

Select Healthcare are specialist care providers based in the UK. We’ve been providing care since the 1980s as a family-run business catering for elderly care, learning disabilities, brain injuries and more in homely care environments. Our care homes have a dedicated activity programme that is personalised to the needs of our residents in order to provide an enriching environment no matter what their needs. We provide care home staff to meet every care need of our residents with a range of specialist services providing 24-hour care.

 

Why is it Important to Choose the Right Care Home for Your Needs?

As specialists in residential care, we know that every care is different when it comes to caring for our residents. In order to provide the best care, our care homes provide trained specialists who focus on specific areas of care. When choosing the right care home for yourself or a friend or family member, it is important to choose a care home that provides the right services for them in order to give them the best care and a fulfilling life within the care home. For example, those suffering from dementia require specific experience and care in order to thrive which is different to the types of care those with a physical disability or brain injury may require.

 

What Types of Care do Select Care Homes Provide?

At Select Healthcare we provide a wide range of care services to suit the needs of our residents. All of our care homes provide services such as hairdressing, activities and specialist care for a range of conditions. In order to provide the best care for our residents, each of our care homes caters for different types of needs from our dedicated brain injury unit to our care homes for dementia care.

 

Elderly Mentally Infirm (EMI) and Dementia Care Homes

At Select Healthcare, we have a range of care homes that specially cater for those with EMI needs. Our care homes for the elderly cater for a wide range of age-specific needs such as care for those with dementia-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Our EMI care home nurses and care assistants are specially trained and experienced in how to care for individuals with dementia in order to offer them a happy and fulfilling experience in our UK-based care homes.

 

Respite Care Homes

As well as providing residential care, some of our care homes offer the ability to provide respite care for those with a wide range of conditions. Whether you are an individual looking for a short stay in one of our care homes or a caregiver looking for temporary care for the person you provide care for, our country-wide care homes offer comfortable, engaging respite care with regular activities for mind and body.

Palliative Care Homes

Palliative care requires a specific set of services. That’s why our specialist palliative care homes give a special focus to the treatment of pain and other symptoms of life-threatening illnesses as well as providing emotional and spiritual support to our palliative care home residents.

 

Care Homes for Physical Disabilities

Our care homes for those with physical disabilities provide person-centred care that seeks to maintain as far as possible our resident’s own unique interests, abilities and preferences. Our specialist care homes provide a range of activities to ensure our residents are mentally and physically stimulated no matter what their needs with a range of events during which friends and relatives are encouraged to attend.

 

Care for Those With Learning Disabilities

As part of our care-giving ethos, we encourage the independence of our care home residents as far as possible, particularly those within our care homes for those with learning disabilities. Our friendly team provide regular activities and plenty of opportunities for social interaction with a range of community activities as well as those designed to stimulate mind and body for an enriching experience.

 

Mental Health Care

One of our areas of specialisms when it comes to care home care is mental health care. Our specialist mental health care homes care for those who have been diagnosed with a range of mental health illnesses such as depression, psychological disorders, anxiety and psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia. Mental health requires a special level of care and attention, that’s why our mental health care homes conduct pre-admission and risk assessments to ensure we are providing the correct level of care for each resident whether they require short term or long term mental health care. At Select Healthcare, we specialise in the assessment of Wernicke/Korakoffs, alcohol-induced disorders and have a team of multi-disciplinary specialists ready to help provide the very best level of care. Our mental health care homes provide the perfect stepping stone for those looking to return to their home communities or as a step down from hospital treatment. Our team puts an emphasis on social inclusion with activities both in the home and within the local community to ensure an engaging experience that works for our residents’ wellbeing.
