Care and facilities at Ottley House Care Home

Here at Ottley House, we offer numerous types of care, and we have a professional team embedded in the home who are always available to offer advice. We provide specialist dementia care, palliative care and general nursing care. Those that we support have access to a number of different features and facilities; exercise classes are delivered by our activities team through our regular 'Oomph' classes. There's also Wi-Fi, a TV lounge and a nurse call system available to residents.

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.
