At DIL Terrace we aim to provide outstanding care to those who are unable to live independently. We provide 24 hour care from fully trained and experienced support staff in a friendly and comfortable environement.
We are able to provide opportunites for service users to be out in the community and encourage activities such as volunteering, educational needs and we aim to assist with any other activities service users may wish to do. In house we have activities available such as; TV, music, games, books, cooking facilities, gardening and we welcome any other ideas from service users.
DIL Terrace is a large house with 13 bedrooms for service users and 1 staff office. It has two communal lounge areas, spacious kitchen, dining room, bathrooms on each of the three floors, and rear garden. All bedrooms are furnished and decorated to a high standard however we do encourage service users to personalise their bedrooms to allow a more homely feel. Service users will also be provided with their own key to their room.
What we can help with
At DIL Terrace our goal is to ensure service users are living as independently as possible, however we can assist with many aspects of daily living including;
• Budgeting and managing money
• Shopping
• Meal planning and cooking skills
• Laundry and other domestic tasks
• Attending appointments
• Social and life skills
• Personal hygiene promotion
• Environment maintained
• Accessing community (local support groups and activities)
• Managing medication
• Managing mental health and encouraging coping strategies
All support plans will be personalised to individual service user needs and all plans will be completed with service users having full involvement. These will be reviewed regularly to ensure we are providing the best possible care.
Food for meals will be provided however service users will be encouraged to prepare their own meals to their own capabilities.
We encourage service users to build positive theraputic relationships with staff at the house to ensure that good communication and care can be provided at all times. We want service users to feel they can talk and trust the staff with any concerns or worries that they may have, staff can offer support on a 1:1 basis if it is required.
We do encourage service users to maintain and build on any positive relationships with family and friends and we welcome visits between the hours on 09:00 and 21:00. There is also a landline phone available and WIFI access.
