Description:
Farway Grange
Farway Grange has been an independently operated Bournemouth care home since 1986. With over 30 years of experience, we understand the importance of individualised service, privacy and a residence that feels like a home from home. We offer the highest levels of nursing care and personal attention whilst retaining that elusive, homely environment that is so important to our residents and their relatives in maintaining the high quality of life and dignity that they deserve.
Our aim is to provide a caring and open home with unobtrusive professional support, and to deliver holistic nursing care for our residents, whatever their circumstances. Following assessment, we deliver person centred care by assessing the individual’s care needs, considering their preferences and wishes, and working with their family and health professionals.
At Farway Grange we provide a warm and caring environment where attention is given throughout the day and night. Bespoke care plans are created for each individual, taking every aspect of their care needs into account, to ensure that their physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs are met. Relatives are encouraged to engage in this process.
