Care & Facilities at Derham House Care Home

All the services and facilities on offer are designed to enhance residents’ lives within the home. The care we provide is all about looking after their health and understanding what makes them happy. Home is where you feel safe and secure enough to be yourself, which is why our indoor and outdoor environments are welcoming and relaxing with easy navigation, supporting freedom and independence within a safe space. Please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly staff any questions you may have about the services we offer.

We are now using handheld digital technology called 'Enable' internally to develop, update and manage our care and life enrichment documentation for residents. We work with one of the UK’s major digital care home documentation providers and have a bespoke platform to manage documentation digitally which aligns with our wish to deliver the highest quality individual care and life enrichment. You will see our team members using hand-held devices as the care plans and life enrichment preferences will be accessed via the device on an App. This will mean that it may look like our teams are using their mobile telephones, rest assured this is not the case and all technology used in the home is there to support our residents and relatives. There are so many benefits in moving to using digital technology to care for our residents, and for the staff working at the home including improving communication and collaboration between teams, increasing accuracy of care intervention recording and becoming more environmentally friendly.
