Partnership Care
Care in Wygram is delivered on a partnership basis. Our team led by Jaya Rajeev, resident’s families and healthcare experts collaborate to provide the very best for residents. We look to involve residents in every possible decision and they are encouraged to be themselves (Bi Tu Fein). Our core focus for our residents is ‘nothing about me, without me’.
Long and short term care can be provided. The best way to decide if Wygram is right for you is to visit and speak to the team. We will give you a tour and bring you through the process from start to finish.
Wygram is a modern facility where you can be confident that residents’ happiness and wellbeing is our focus every day. It’s often the little things that mean a lot and the highly experienced team will care for our residents to the highest standards and take the time to get to know and understand exactly how they like things to be.
All About Me is a template that families complete during a resident’s first few days with us. It allows us to gather information about the residents and their life up until now and it is a great way to get to know our residents better.
Respite Care
Every carer needs a little time to themselves. If you are supporting an older person living at home, taking a break is important for your wellbeing.
Residential respite is available for short – or long-term stay. You can relax, knowing we are taking care of the ones you love. They will be part of the Wygram family and can enjoy all of the activities that we have to offer onsite.
People often try respite care before deciding on full time care.
Dementia Care
Programmes specifically designed to help people living with dementia are in place. Focus is on a person’s skills and abilities rather than those they have lost. The person rather than the disease is at the centre of everything.
We provide Reminiscence therapy and life stories.
