Residents look
forward to visits from family and friends. We operate an open visiting
policy and actively encourage and welcome visitors. However to protect
our residents we ask that all visitors sign in and out on entering and
leaving; wait in the designated visitors' area to enable staff to announce
their arrival and observe any precautionary infection control measures
as appropriate. Kiltipper Woods reserves the right to impose restrictions
on visiting arrangements where the visit or time of visit is deemed to
pose a risk or where the resident requests such restrictions. Please note
that some residents like to enjoy their meal times in private, and therefore
we would advise that visitors do not visit during meal times unless with
the prior consultation with the Nurse Manager or the Nurse on Duty. To
avoid spread of infection, visitors are asked not to visit if they are
suffering from colds, flu or any other infection. Children are welcome
but must be under the strict supervision of a responsible adult. Parents
of very young children should check with the Nurse Manager before bringing
them to visit.
Kiltipper Woods recognises the importance of diet
to aid recovery, especially for those who are frail. Extensive menu choices
are available daily. Meal service includes three main meals daily, served
in attractive dining rooms. Refreshments and snacks are offered throughout
the day to all Residents. We are also happy to serve meals at a time that
suits the individual resident. Daily Menus are displayed close to the

to all residents. We welcome menu suggestions from our residents. Our

of mind. The Care Plan is established within 48 Hours of admission with
valuable input from the resident/patient, their family and or representative.
It is important that we understand and continue the routines of home and
learn more about our resident's life history, likes and dislikes. We aim

the individual's changing needs and circumstances. We also welcome any
suggestions you may have for changes or additions to the Care Plan, our

We aim to foster a positive alliance with community thereby promoting co-operation, accessibility and accountability to the community. We strive for excellence in all our endeavours, not only to meet the standards and regulations as set out by the authorities, but to exceed all required standards and in so doing establish our own quality benchmark.
We manage human and financial resources responsibly, and provide cost-effective care and services to meet the individual needs of all in our care. We establish criteria to evaluate and Audit the effi ciency and effectiveness of the quality of care and our services.
We recognise the expertise, spirit, value and contribution of each member of Staff and encourage each member to have a voice in the operation of our organisation.
