Parc Wern care home provides quality care based on respect for the residents, their right to make choices, maintain dignity and receive the best of care to suit individual needs.We offer 24-hour nursing for 20 Elderly Frail nursing Clients, 3 Elderly Frail residential clients and 35 Elderly Mentally Infirm Clients for the elderly. The home is situated in Ammanford with easy access to local shops and amenities.
The Home
Parc Wern care home was originally a private residence but has now been developed and extended into a care home which provides nursing, palliative and respite care for 58 older residents within a warm and homely environment. The home has been tastefully decorated throughout with individual décor in each bedroom to meet the requirements and needs of each resident. The home has a large safe internal garden within the middle of the Home and extensive grassy grounds which offers a relaxing atmosphere and a quiet retreat. Our aim is to achieve a comfortable, warm and safe environment to provide a feeling of security, enhancing the quality of life.
The Care
The care at Parc Wern is delivered by a dedicated and professional multi-disciplinary team committed to providing quality care. Each resident has an individual care package, specifically planned to reflect their personal needs and choices. A qualified nurse/key worker is assigned to each resident ensuring an holistic approach to individual care and daily fulfilment. Each member of staff is trained to ensure that our residents’ personal dignity is maintained at all times. Parc Wern promotes Craegmoors’ communication strategy called “Your Voice” which ensures that each individual, based on their preferred method of communication, is able to have a voice on how their supported care is provided. Monthly service user meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of fellow service users.This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level. Parc Wern liaises with families, community organisations, social services departments and purchasing authorities to support Person Centred Care Planning and ensures full account is taken of social, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of all individuals.
The Facilities
We have specialised equipment to aid with day-to-day living, including handling and bathing equipment. Residents are welcome to bring in personal items and small pieces of furniture to personalise their own room. Our in-house chef ensures a choice of menus creating fresh, nutritious, homemade meals catering for all cultural, medical diets and personal preferences.We have an activities co-ordinator who organises a wide range of daily activities both in and out of the home. Outside entertainers visit the home on a regular basis. Our own transport is used for visits to local places of interest and for hospital appointments as required. Activities are planned to meet the residents’ needs but we also respect a person’s need for peace and quiet and choice on how they spend their day.
