About Dryfemount Care Home
Dryfemount Care Home provides accommodation for up to 30 residents, allowing us to maintain a close-knit, family-oriented community where everyone feels known, valued, and cared for.
Person-Centred Care
At the heart of everything we do is “person-centred care.” This means every resident’s care is tailored to their individual needs, choices, and routines. From when they like to wake up, to how they enjoy meals, to the way they prefer to spend leisure time — everything is agreed together with each resident, their family, and supporting professionals. Each resident has a dedicated Key Worker who gets to know them personally and ensures these wishes are respected and shared with our care team.
Our Philosophy of Care
“Our most important aim is to ensure that our residents enjoy life within a safe, stimulating environment. All residents are supported to remain as independent as possible, and the right support is always there when required.”
Warm.
By that I mean that we need to be radiating warmheartedness, encourage warmth, empathy amongst all in the home, as it is a “home” after all. Warmth, also means heat, and there will be heated discussions and emotions, sometimes negative. But: all this is expressing how human we are. The more energy we create within the home, the more we have to give to each other.
Green.
I like ourselves to be sustainably minded, avoid wastage, pointless consumption, lots of recycling, avoid hard chemicals and plastics wherever we can (without endangering anybody), and buy locally as much as we can.
Connected.
Connected, we shall be, with all means we have at our disposal, use modern digital technologies, create bridges between residents and their relatives, keeping up to date and use IT to be as efficient in our operations, so we spend time on what we do best: caring.
