Care & Facilities at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home

We take pride in supporting potential residents and their loved ones to make the correct choice when choosing a care home. Here at Plas Y Dderwen we can support all aspects of nursing and dementia care whether this be on a short or long term basis. The staff are fully trained to deliver an excellent service, ensuring that the residents that we support are of the utmost importance. The building is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and is all on one level making it easy for wheelchair access. 

Robust pre-assessment will be undertaken prior to admission to ensure that we have a full understanding of residents needs and preferences, this ensures a smooth transition to our care facilities. We also work alongside other professionals to ensure that the best possible care is achieved. We aim to provide a activity filled day to suit individual needs whilst promoting independence and individuals choice.

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.
