Registration Benoni Nursing Home is registered with both the Commission for Social care Inspection for a maximum of 21 nursing beds. Frequently Asked Questions Answered Would I be allowed to have a trial period before definitely making up my mind? Yes, we encourage prospective Residents to have a trial period. Usually one month is found to be a suitable length of time in which to decide if you feel at home. Will I lose my independence? No, in fact we encourage Residents to remain as independent as they possibly can, but we are there to assist them when required. Do I have to get up and go to bed at certain times? No, it’s your home; you get up and go to bed when you wish. What if I require a special diet? We can cater for special diets e.g. diabetic, low fat, etc. It would however be helpful if we knew in advance of any special requirements. What happens if I cannot sleep during the night? You can call a Nurse or Care Assistant who will make you a hot drink and sit and talk to you if you wish. If you have any further questions to ask, please do not hesitate to contact Matron Sue Mason or the Manager Helen Hutson. Please telephone: 01736 788433 If you are looking for a homely atmosphere in a caring friendly environment, you are most welcome to visit Benoni at any time. No appointment is necessary. We have a high staff to resident ratio. The standard of care we offer, we believe, is the best there is. We do NOT cut corners on resident’s supplies, equipment or care. Our philosophy is“ We treat our residents as we would want our own family to be treated”. This isn’t and won’t be compromised. Sometimes you hear horrific stories on the news, in the papers, about care standards within certain homes. These stories also horrify us. We believe that residents have to not only be cared for, but loved also. We also extend our care to the relatives/friends. Sometimes dealing with social services, solicitors, standing orders, banks and peoples properties can be very confusing. We are here to help. We will try to answer any questions and help in any situations, which arise. There are no silly questions concerning someone’s care. We will come out to your home, if you would prefer, have a cup of tea and get through the red tape together. The owners Paul and Helen are at Benoni every day and are contactable 24 hours per day. They are committed to making Benoni an integral part of the community and also a “Flagship” of care and understanding for hopefully other homes to follow. We are always open to any suggestions for improvement ………………. |
