Care and facilities at Challoner House Care Home

Choosing the right nursing home for a loved one can be a daunting decision, especially if you’re unsure what type of care they require. Here at Challoner House, we offer a number care services for those over the age of 65, including general nursing care and care for those with physical disabilities. Those we support in our home also have access to a number of different home facilities, such as landscaped gardens, TV lounges, a café, as well as electric profiling beds, a nurse call system and supplementary services like a hairdressing salon, and visiting physiotherapists and chiropodists.

We are now using handheld digital technology called 'Enable' internally to develop, update and manage our care and life enrichment documentation for residents. We work with one of the UK’s major digital care home documentation providers and have a bespoke platform to manage documentation digitally which aligns with our wish to deliver the highest quality individual care and life enrichment. You will see our team members using hand-held devices as the care plans and life enrichment preferences will be accessed via the device on an App. This will mean that it may look like our teams are using their mobile telephones, rest assured this is not the case and all technology used in the home is there to support our residents and relatives. There are so many benefits in moving to using digital technology to care for our residents, and for the staff working at the home including improving communication and collaboration between teams, increasing accuracy of care intervention recording and becoming more environmentally friendly.
