Philosophy Of Care

The primary aim of Blanchelande Park is to foster a philosophy of resident centred care encompassing physical, mental and spiritual needs.

Our desire at Blanchelande Park is to build a relationship that is based on trust and regard for the dignity of residents within the Home. Our philosophy is that we shall always recognise our residents as individuals each with differing needs, beliefs, values and opinions. At all times we shall endeavour to maintain resident’s privacy and to always address them in a respectful manner.

Our aim is to inform residents of all aspects of their condition and proposed care, including the alternatives available, unless a wish is expressed to the contrary. Residents have the right to accept or refuse treatment including diagnostic procedures without affecting the standard of care received.

At Blanchelande Park we shall positively encourage participation in social and recreational activities available, both within the Home and the local community – alongside this we shall assist in maintaining links with family, friends and previous associations.

We shall recognise the importance of health education and will endeavour to provide up to date individualised health education to residents and if so required assist in any lifestyle changes to be made.
