Southerndown Care Home offers you the opportunity to place your relative in a comfortable and protected environment so that you can be secure in the knowledge that they are safe and well cared for.
The Home is a registered charity administered by Wales Council for the Blind and, as such, any finances are used to improve and upgrade facilities.
Southerndown Home was built in 1890 and is a magnificent building set on a cliff top on the Heritage Coastline. It is situated in rural surroundings. The residents have breathtaking views of the Bristol Channel and enjoy the sound smell and sight of the sea.
The interior is attractively and comfortably furnished to create a homely atmosphere. There are 24 single rooms and 8 double rooms. Some of these bedrooms are on the ground floor. There is a lift to the upper floor. We have three large and comfortable lounge areas and a dedicated activities room, which allow plenty of space for all and for entertainment.
Southerndown Home has places for 40 residents and specialises in accommodating visually impaired people. Each resident is assessed for their care needs and an individual care plan developed.
The Home is visited regularly by local doctors, district nurses, chiropodists, dentists, opticians and hairdressers. Religious needs are also catered for. Visitors are encouraged and welcomed - we have visitors' rooms available.
Our extensive programme of entertainment and activities is continually developing and each resident has a personal profile prepared to allow suitable activities in a group or on a one-to-one basis to take place. Our aim is to provide a stimulating and fulfilling environment.
The programme includes rehabilitation work to help with mobility and independence.
We are also luck to have a Multi-Sensory Room which visitors are welcome to use with their family and friends at any time.
Activities take place in our dedicated activities room and include art, music and movement, bingo, reminiscence etc. In addition to these daily activities are a variety of events and outings planned throughout the year.
The emphasis at Southerndown Care Home is on caring for the residents, so staff are carefully recruited and trained with this in mind. The Home has an extensive programme of suitable and appropriate internal and external training.
There is also a full programme of NVQ care training available and all care staff will be included in this programme.
The Home is run by appropriately trained staff. There is an alarm call system. Wherever possible, residents retain their own GPs.
