Our Philosophy of Care

The relationship between the nurse and the resident is both a professional and a personal one. Nursing care is at its best when it is tailored specifically to meet the needs and habits of the individual resident.

For this to happen, we have to really get to know each unique individual. We aim for excellence and to show love and kindness to our residents and hope that Tupwood Gate will feel like their home.

The ultimate aim is to provide nursing care and to encourage each individual to maintain optimum independence and quality of life.

Personal choice is at the heart of our philosophy

The emphasis is on offering everyone an improved quality of life combined with the highest possible standards of 24-hour care provided by dedicated, trained staff.

Our residents benefit from a personalised care plan: excellent food, a regular activities and entertainment programme; social outings and the convenience of having services such as hairdressing, chiropody and physiotherapy visiting on site.

Residents are offered variety in their daily routine and can choose to take part in a wide range of activities on our social calendar including regular outings using our minibus to visit local places of historic interest, trips to the seaside, gardens, shops and restaurants. Concerts featuring entertainers and musicians are staged here at Tupwood Gate. At Tupwood Gate we provide nursing care in a friendly, homely atmosphere where the privacy, enjoyment and convenience of our residents is always our priority.
