Welcome

At Swallowfields Care Centre, we believe that all our residents should feel like it's their home, not ours. We strive to make this the basis of our commitment to their care and support, providing everyone with a warm, friendly and safe environment where they can begin this journey.

Residents who we support, are encouraged to lead independent lives as far as is possible and to fulfil their own potential. Our goals are quite simply theirs, in other words, our focus is on what they can do, rather than what can't.

Your Home

We endeavour to encourage each individual to live their life in a manner which is specific to their wishes, and which promotes independence and choice.

We do this by finding out what is important to each person and supporting them in a way which is meaningful to them. We value the uniqueness of each person and build on their skills in order to maintain independence and involve them fully in any decision making processes.

We will respect and value each person and their contribution to their home and their care. We will ensure that this home provides for all support needs by ongoing assessment and evaluation of each person with them fully involved and consulted at every stage.

We will establish good channels of communication and information sharing between the next of kin and ourselves and all support given will be transparent, open, and in accordance to current best practice and legislation.

We can support people who have one or more of the following needs:

• Autism and Aspergers Syndrome
• Physical disability
• Learning disability
• Behaviour that may Challenge
• Mental health needs (Dual Diagnosis)
• Require full 24 hour care
• One to one support
• Persons who may self harm
• Complex needs including Epilepsy
• The basis of our goal is that all our residents feel that Swallowfields is their home

Whats on

Residents have their own individual diaries (some using pictures) and are actively involved in the running of the home, with full support to undertake domestic, gardening or cooking tasks if they wish.

We also arrange for entertainers to come in the home; parties, BBQ's and even holidays. At Swallowfields, we employ our own fully qualified therapists who work one to one or in groups with our residents. These include:

• Dance and movement therapy
• Art therapy
• Music therapy
• Relaxation therapy
• Cognitive and behavioural therapy

We understand that everybody is different which is why we offer a choice of activities and can tailor activities to the individual choice.
