Our Care

At Fewcott House, we take a person-centred approach to everything we do. Our wide range of activities and therapies are shaped by the individual choices and preferences of our residents—ensuring everyone has the opportunity to engage in meaningful, enjoyable experiences.

These activities are open to all who join us, whether you’re staying with us long-term or just here for respite. Every individual is carefully assessed, allowing us to tailor activities not only for residents, but also for family members and carers, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment.

We also offer flexible respite so whether you’re planning a holiday, a shopping trip, or simply need a well-earned break, you can do so with complete peace of mind—knowing your loved one is receiving the highest standard of care in a safe, welcoming setting.

Fewcott House has utilised person-centred software since its inception, serving as a vital tool in enhancing the quality of our care. This system acts as a centralised database where each resident’s needs are recorded by the individual staff members responsible for completing specific tasks. As a result, it creates a detailed and evolving record of the care provided.

Through this software, we can continually evaluate the standard of care and develop personalised care plans. These plans are tailored not only to the resident’s current needs but also incorporate their personal values, beliefs, and advance decisions.

An initial assessment is carried out by the nursing team, during which medical information is gathered and relevant professionals who are familiar with the resident are contacted. This information is crucial for the creation of effective and holistic care plans.

Each care plan is a structured document divided into specific areas of care. It identifies the resident’s individual care needs, the desired outcomes or goals, and the specific actions required to achieve those outcomes. These plans are dynamic and are reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to reflect the resident’s needs accurately.

Care plan reviews can be conducted by nursing staff and often involve relatives or next of kin, especially in situations where the resident lacks the mental capacity to express their wishes. Other professionals such as the GP or Care Home Support Services (CHSS) are also involved in the review and development process, offering their medical expertise to guide and support the implementation of effective care strategies.
