Are you looking for urgent assistance to move a vulnerable loved one with dementia out of hospital and into a supportive care home environment?
At The Aldbury, we welcome hospital transfers for both short-term respite dementia care and permanent stays at our home, and our experienced team are ready to provide all the support and guidance you need to ensure a safe transition, as soon as possible.
As specialists in dementia care, we understand the difficulties faced by people living with dementia upon hospital admission. They often feel anxious, confused, and disoriented in their new surroundings.
Moving them from the hospital to a specialised dementia care home as soon as possible can significantly improve their well-being and provide you peace of mind, knowing that your loved one has access to 24-hour support in a setting that has been tailored to specifically cater for their needs.
Our goal will be to ensure a quick and smooth transition from hospital to our care home, where your loved one receives the specialised attention and support, they require.
After a hospital discharge, the care needs of your loved one may change, requiring the expertise of a Registered Nurse, a level of support that residential homes may not provide. As a dementia home that specialises in nursing care, we assure you that experienced nurses are present on-site 24/7, ensuring continuous care for your loved one during this critical time.
We create individually tailored care plans that focus on the resident’s needs to ensure they feel safe, involved and supported, and address any specific needs post-hospital admission.
Our nurses have the skills to manage a variety of conditions such as strokes, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, whilst also taking a hands-on role in areas such as administering medication, keeping track of nutrition and fluids, managing wound care and much more.
“I am very grateful to all the staff for the care they give my wife in sometimes challenging situations. I would definitely recommend Fernhill to anyone looking for care for their loved ones.” – Husband of Resident at Fernhill
If your loved one is too frail to return home immediately following a stay in hospital, we are ready to provide all the support they need.
You’ll find our home to be the perfect environment for recuperation. Nothing is too much trouble for our caring staff, and every resident has a personalised care plan based on their individual needs.
Three nutritious meals are served daily and all other daily responsibilities are taken care of, allowing your loved one to focus on their wellbeing whilst enjoying the luxurious surroundings and vibrant community.
Should your loved one require long-term care, either to manage a medical condition or simply to improve their quality of life, then a warm and welcoming community awaits.
Our residents are supported to live life to the best of their abilities, their days filled with companionship, laughter, music, hobbies, nature and experiences.
And with experienced nurses on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can be reassured your love one will always receive the care they need, whenever they need it, from a familiar face.
“Contact was excellent right from the start with daily updates on how our relative was settling and any issues.” – Daughter-in-law of Resident at Fernhill
If you require transportation to our home and don’t have access to a suitable vehicle, we work closely with EMA Patient Transport. They provide premium private ambulance services, featuring state-of-the-art ambulances and equipment, and customise each individual patient journey.
The pre-admission assessment process is carried out by either our Clinical Lead or a dedicated member of our Clinical Team.
We offer respite and permanent packages; the minimum respite stay is two weeks.
It can be on the same day, up to 48 hours depending on the availability at the home.
If you are coming from the hospital or community, we would like to make your admission the best experience possible. Ideally this would mean coming on a weekday so we can get you registered or temporarily registered same day with the local GP. We can still admit residents on a weekend, but we may need to reach out to other community services that would not normally be available.
Your details will be taken and passed to the customer advisor so they can call you on the next working day.
