Searching for care for a loved one can be overwhelming. Those embarking on this journey for the first time may be surprised to learn that not all care homes offer the same services. Some care homes support older people, while others support younger adults or children. Beyond age-related categories, services specialise in a varying range of care and support.
At the simplest level, care homes for older people can offer care for those living with dementia (dementia care homes), those with complex health needs (care homes with nursing) or those who require support with everyday tasks and may feel isolated at home (residential care homes). Or they can offer a mix of all three.
The team at Featherton House in Deddington specialises in residential care for older people who have been struggling at home. Here people are encouraged to live as independently as possible with the support of a professional care team when required.
Our residents benefit from the vibrant social aspects of the home. With daily coffee mornings, live entertainment and full restaurant service at mealtimes, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy time with friends.
To demystify care home terminology, the team at Featherton House have partnered with Banbury-based Read This Magazine to produce a helpful guide to residential care for older people. The guide includes a list of things to consider, such as how easy it would be for family and friends to visit.
The guide also features a list of important questions to ask when visiting the home for a tour. A visit is the perfect opportunity to meet the team and ask questions to help you make your decision.
