What we offer at the Retreat...
Expert Long-Term Residential Care
The Retreat specialises in long-term residential care for individuals with learning disabilities, dementia, and other mental health conditions. We recognise that some residents may face communication challenges, exhibit complex behaviours, or present other conditions that require specialised care approaches. Our mission is to offer a supportive environment where each individual’s unique needs are acknowledged and met with expert care.
Commitment to Best Practice
Our approach to care is rooted in the fundamental principles of best practice. This involves comprehensive assessments that are carried out in alignment with our core company values. These values emphasise treating each person with dignity and respect, empowering them to make their own choices, and facilitating their full participation in the local community.
Personalised Care Plans
To ensure each resident receives personalised care, we develop individualised care plans that respect and respond to their personal preferences and needs. Our skilled team of support workers is committed to helping every resident achieve the highest level of independence possible, aligned with their personal goals and aspirations.
Family and Community Engagement
Family and community engagement is a cornerstone of life at The Retreat. We maintain an open-door policy for visits from friends and family, ensuring that they are a key part of our care community. Regular updates keep families informed about events, activities, and special occasions, fostering a sense of belonging and collective participation in the wellbeing of their loved ones.
At The Retreat, we believe in creating a nurturing environment that supports not just the physical health of our residents, but their emotional and social wellbeing too. Our dedicated staff, carefully crafted care plans, and vibrant community engagement are all focused on providing a quality of life that is enriching and fulfilling for every resident.
