Our registration allows us accommodate anyone over the age of 18, but the majority of our residents are over 65 and most are significantly older. To ensure the care provided is planned to meet individual needs, detailed assessments are undertaken on admission. Based on these assessment, a nurse and the resident or resident’s representative, devise a care plan, setting out objectives and realistic goals. This provides direction to care staff and will ensure that the care we are providing assists the resident to achieve his/her full potential. Care plans are reviewed following feedback from the resident or in response to any changes in their personal needs or circumstances. As a minimum, care plans are reviewed every four months in consultation with the resident. Nursing Care: Dealgan House provides excellent nursing and personal care to our residents. A qualified nurse, with experience of caring for the elderly, is on duty at all times and is assisted by a team of qualified Care Assistants. On admission to Dealgan House, residents can retain their own GP or our nursing staff will assist with a transfer to a local GP practice if required. Some GP’s carry out rounds in the home on a weekly basis and are on call in case of emergencies. Respite and Convalescent Care: Respiute care is sometimes required by families who care for an elderly family member at home while convalescent care gives a patient time to recover from major surgery prior to returning home.
