Our statement of care

What we aim for, for every resident

Independence, choice, respect, privacy and dignity
Residents keep their own routines and choices. You can bring things from home to make your room your own, keep your own GP if they agree, and have a phone and television in your room.
Shelter and protection, with food, warmth and water
A safe, warm home with secure gardens, staff on duty through the night and help to get to the doctor or hospital when needed.
Good relationships built on love
Mico Bienvenu founded Christian Care Homes to care for older people in a loving Christian environment. That shapes how staff, residents and families treat one another.
A sense of esteem and personal worth
Everyone is treated as a person with their own life story. Staff take time to learn what each resident likes, and families help them do that.
Social and medical care for each person
Care is planned around each resident, working closely with local GPs and other health and social care professionals.
Spiritual guidance and counselling
Christian Care Homes is a Christian charity. Spiritual support is there for anyone who wants it, and people of all faiths and none are welcome.
