Evendine House facilities

During the current Coronavirus pandemic, we want to assure you that we are committed to ensuring that we keep all our residents and staff as safe as possible. All of our residents have been vaccinated and we test all staff daily. It’s difficult to think of a safer place to be and we even managed to maintain ‘covid safe’ visiting through the lockdown.

As Government guidance has changed, we can now offer far more flexible visiting arrangements than hitherto allowed, whilst maintaining excellent Infection prevention and control. We do require that visits are booked in advance by using our online system. We have retained COVID-19 secure visiting rooms show that in the unlikely event of a COVID outbreak. We can still provide for safe visits. Irrespective and in any circumstances where a resident is seriously unwell, we will do whatever we can to facilitate a face-to-face visit and in such circumstances, we ask that you please contact the Registered Manager to agree on an appropriate course of action.

We are ensuring that visits from other groups of people such as suppliers, contractors (e.g. plumbers, electricians) etc a well-controlled and every person has to be tested on entry.

You will have seen the excellent news that the NHS is currently offering additional booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to people most at risk from coronavirus. Care home residents should start to receive those from 21st March 2022. Here at Field House, we are actively supporting our residents and staff who want to remain up to date with vaccinations and boosters so that they can do so at the earliest possible opportunity. We are working hard with our local authorities and GP’s to ensure this happens as safely and as smoothly as possible.

Throughout all of this, I do want to assure you that our wonderful staff are doing everything they possibly can to make sure that residents have the best possible quality of life. Equally, we are taking a number of actions to help make sure our staff and their families are supported so they can continue to provide great care through what will continue to be challenging times.

In each home, we have devoted even more resource into activities and improving the overall wellbeing of residents and we would invite you to see some of the wonderful pictures on each home’s Facebook page! We also have free access to Wi-Fi and phones throughout the home, so relatives and residents can video/phone call each other 24/7.

I would like to assure you that we continue to closely follow and comply with all the instructions and guidance from Public Health authorities to ensure that we keep our residents and staff safe.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the home’s Registered Manager.

Thank you in advance for your patience and support – together we will continue to do everything possible to ensure the safety and health of all our residents.

Best Wishes

At Evendine House, as well as shaping our care and services to each resident’s often changing individual needs and requirements, for those living with Dementia we also offer them specialist care. We recognise the complexity of the condition and that Dementia presents differently for different people. Our experienced care team understand the importance of food, nutrition, mental stimulation and exercise for those living with Dementia. We aim to improve the quality of life for dementia residents by ensuring that we provide healthy and nutritious food as well as high quality activities and events tailored specifically to the resident’s individual needs, wishes and capabilities.

At Evendine House there over 2 acres of land for our residents to enjoy. We have beautiful landscaped gardens with flowers and plants of numerous varieties as well as views to the Malvern Hills. We encourage our residents to stay healthy and active and frequently plan events utilising our wonderful gardens. With staff there to support and keep company, our residents are able to explore the grounds safely. So whether it is a leisurely walk around the gardens, a family celebration or a sit outside to enjoy the sun – our beautiful gardens are the perfect backdrop for it all.

We have several warm and friendly community areas at Evendine House Private Care Home. In our larger community areas, we host all of our daily activities and events. These larger areas are also commonly used by our residents for socialising and interacting with others. We also have smaller and quieter spaces where residents are able to relax in private.

At Evendine House we are passionate about providing a ‘home from home’ environment in which our residents feel happy and relaxed. We work in partnership with our residents and their families to ensure that their needs and requirements are identified and catered for.

Our caring Activity Coordinator plans frequent events throughout the year that centre around our residents’ friends and families. We also have daily activities and events that encourage our residents to socialise and interact with one another. This could be from conversing over dinner to sharing stories and memories from the past.

Evendine House caters for up to 20 residents which enables us to offer a more personalised and attentive approach to care. This enables residents to become familiar with staff members and fellow residents, thereby helping them form friendships quickly and settle into their new home with ease.

We ensure that all of our staff members are highly skilled and qualified in what they do. We recognise the importance of continual professional development and provide staff with regular training to further enhance their knowledge and skills. Our excellent care team work closely with the same residents to provide continuity of care. This also helps our care team gain a greater understanding of each resident as an individual, in addition to becoming familiar with their needs.

We offer free dining to all of our residents’ family and friends. From delicious afternoon tea to a healthy and home-cooked dinner, family and friends are able to enjoy high quality cuisine no matter what the time of day (we just ask for a little notice where possible). By doing this, our residents and their families are able to spend even more quality time together. Family events and celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries are warmly welcome and we will do our best to accommodate these.

At Evendine House, our residents’ families and friends are always welcome, which is why there are no set visiting times. This enables our residents to enjoy the company of their friends and family any time. The flexibility and openness that this provides is extremely helpful for families that are restricted by work commitments. We also provide families and friends with free afternoon tea and dinner so you can even join your loved one during meal times.
