Today, we are the housing provider where inspiration lives. We aim to be inspirational in everything we do and to promise our residents and service users the very best service.

my notes

Most of the time this means allowing our residents to play a substantial role in shaping their service. We have a dedicated team that oversees engagement opportunities, including our Resident Scrutiny Panel, which is recognised in the industry for the inclusion into its membership of care residents and their relatives, and its focus on care issues. At our care homes, this engagement translates into regular resident and relative meetings and exible support plans that are reviewed periodically. We believe that life in care can be truly inspirational. We know that for many of our residents a simple conversation can be a valuable social interaction, and our homes are often a hive of activity with thriving communal spaces. We have a dedicated Creative Arts programme, which has run for over 27 years and offers our residents a source of stimulation benecial to older people, particularly those living with dementia. Projects at our care homes include gardening workshops, interactive drama sessions, all-abilities yoga and choir groups; Rathmore House has itself hosted several activities projects including music therapy classes. C&Cs aim is to be recognised as an innovative provider of excellent homes and services for older people. We are a multi-award winning organisation - since 2012, we have won six awards at regional and national level that celebrate our distinction in care services, housing services and our Creative Arts programme.

YOUR ROOM
spacious and light lled personal space
Its hard to tell you what our rooms are like, because we leave that to those who live in them. We want our residents to feel at home when they come into our care, so we personalise and furnish our rooms to each particular taste. And if they take to our own stylish furniture and vintage artwork - well thats ne too. Soft-wood front doors with brass numbering remind our residents and care staff that, for many, their room is their home, and Rathmores ample windows lay our rooms out to oods of light and vibrant greenery. Above all, our rooms hold the little details that make life more comfortable. Many are ensuite, tted with facilities that cater to varying levels of need, and our dementia specialism informs numerous design features in the room, including our dementiafriendly furniture.

Our care homes are homely, relaxed and personalised.
