We have recently introduced myRyman Care at Bert Sutcliffe, which is an electronic patient management system that brings a residents care plan to life. Each resident receives a small computer that creates a daily checklist for the caregiver to complete and update, whilst they are in the residents room. This ensures all caregivers have an intimate knowledge of each residents daily needs and that the care plan is delivered in its entirety.
Care centre residents have access to beautiful spacious lounges, dining areas and serene outdoor spaces. Living areas are warm and inviting and provide the perfect setting to meet with family and friends to relax and enjoy.
The resort-style facilities include a hair and beauty salon, café and shop. Our villages have beautifully landscaped gardens where you can enjoy peaceful strolls or have the space for the grandchildren to play.
For your peace of mind, we have overnight security to ensure your safety at all times.
We also welcome residents who require short term care, respite care or day care. All our residents have priority access to whatever level of care they require, if their needs change.
Book a room today, we look forward to hearing from you!
