CARE
At The Dales
an informed choice
At the Dales, we understand that planning around care can be an emotional and overwhelming time. We want to make sure that you are able to make the right and informed choice. We have many years’ experience of working in elderly and specialist care environments. Our focus is to provide nursing of the highest quality on a long-term or short-term basis, and in comfortable, welcoming, and homely surroundings.
Nursing care
A home from home
Each resident’s room provides a ‘home from home’ environment, which allows the individual to personalise their own space with their own personal belongings. Nursing care allows residents to be independent where possible but are supported by staff to their specific care needs. Many of our residents choose this type of accommodation for the excellent nursing care, community atmosphere, and a feeling of being safe and secure.
respite care
Take a Break
Caring independently for a loved one can be challenging at times and it is important to take regular breaks to recoup. We offer short term residential stays to support carers, and allow them time to rest, confident that their loved one’s individual needs are being cared for by our dedicated staff.
Palliative care
Managed Partnerships
We work very closely with our colleagues at hospice care, with doctors, physiotherapists, and other health professionals. Together we can support you with psychological and spiritual support for you and your family.
Close monitored
Care and Support
The Matron and her team are highly skilled and passionate about the care and support they give to people entering the final stages of their life. We can help manage pain and other distressing symptoms. We position the bed head in a way that can make breathing easier. Understanding energy conservation is paramount when caring for your loved one.
Personal care
We understand residents will not tolerate personal care for long periods of time so we break these tasks up into smaller intervals of 15 minutes. It can also be hard for family members so helping to normalize the situation and provide understanding and comfort is vital to the care of your loved one.
“The quality of care is outstanding for my dad, all staff are incredibly kind and respectful.”
NUTRITION
We cater for different dietary requirements and provide home cooked meals prepared onsite.
