How are we different?

Every Residential Home that you look at is different.

You must choose on the basis of what you see, the information given, and also what your own requirements and needs are. You must feel welcomed the minute you step through the door. This is a HOME in all sense of the word.

We have a quote on the wall inside the front door, all staff respect the fact that

“Residents at Rose Villa do not live in our workplace, we work in their Home”.

Entry into the Home is via a security finger print system.

The accent on the Care that we provide is to ensure independence and dignity. Communication is important to the residents. This can be in different forms. As well as letters and telephone calls (we have a portable telephone that can be taken to a resident), we also provide a Skype facility to maintain contact between residents, families and friends.

We are very proud of the Staff at Rose Villa. They promote the ethos of what we wish to achieve, and they do this willingly and cheerfully, giving dignified assistance where necessary. You will see this when you visit us, and will always hear laughter. Nothing is too much trouble, they always have time for a chat, as well as organising activities to keep our residents involved and interested in life.

Meet our residents, and talk to them. How long have you been here? What is the home like? What do you do all day? Can you do what you want? What is the food like? These are examples of the questions you could ask.

The conservatory is used as a dining room, and also for some activities. It is also a pleasant place to have a visit, with a tray of tea. We like it because it virtually takes people into the garden, even on a dull, cold day.
