Person Centred Care in our Plymouth Care Home

All of our residents are treated as the individuals they are, and naturally, each individual has different needs. Our approach to care is bespoke and person centred. We strive to provide each resident with as much or as little support as they need.

Our all-encompassing care approach starts before residents even move into Ernstell House - our Leadership Team will take great care to find out everything they need to know from our new residents and their families.

From this stage, we can make sure that we completely understand what level of support is required, and can make it so everything is ready upon our new resident's arrival.

At Ernstell House, it is crucial to us that every resident feels they are at home here. We understand how challenging a transition into a care home can be, so we do everything we can to cultivate a comfortable and relaxing environment.

Our Clinical Team are always ready for if resident's care needs start changing, and residents and their families can rest easy knowing that the team will help them through any short or long-term challenges.

GET IN TOUCH

We aim to be the best care home in Devon, and have spent a long time creating a community of residents here who have real, genuine connections with each other, as well as their neighbours in the local vicinity.

Through our unique person centred care approach, we are able to identify how residents want to spend their time. This way we know what they're interested in, and can help them to keep enjoying all the special things in their lives that make them happy.

Ernstell House is a place where residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible - to enjoy their favourite hobbies and pastimes, discover all kinds of new interests, and continue socialising and building meaningful friendships.

Person centred care works because it is bespoke, genuine and builds on our primal instincts of caring for our fellow person. Our philosophy empowers our residents to create a life they truly enjoy, with our support.

Our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coaches

Within our Devon care home you will also find our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach. Our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coaches are qualified and inspirational professionals who are dedicated to helping residents continue to live the life they want to lead, in the home and beyond.

Ernstell House's Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach will get acquainted with each resident and learn as much about them, from their first conversation onwards. They pay special attention to residents' likes, dislikes and life stories, and the activities they enjoy and the pastimes they are passionate about.

The conversations are our first steps towards building a Personalised Wellbeing Programme - our plan for ensuring residents live a fulfilled, meaningful and happy life.

Our Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coach will build activity plans based on residents' interests, and encourage them to be more physically active, mentally stimulated and socially connected. The Personalised Wellbeing Plans evolve with reviews every month to make sure that any necessary changes in the care plan are supported, and to make sure residents can continue to be confident in their mobility and abilities.

In our Wellbeing and Beauty Salon we have all kinds of treatments available to promote relaxation. Hairdressing, manicures and pedicures are just some of the salon treatments available on offer, giving residents a real chance to treat themselves.
