Elder care requires carefully developed and flawlessly delivered care plans that remain flexible and are proactively adapted with changing care needs. An anticipatory approach ensures that care continuously supports not only your present conditions, but also accounts for future developments to create seamless continuity and provide support for individuals with progressive diseases and long-term conditions.
At Loveday, our teams develop highly tailored care plans for each resident and provide 24-hour monitoring to identify changes in condition and update their plan accordingly. Our approach ensures that each resident receives a truly personalised care experience that incorporates 24-hour nursing oversight, clinical expertise and advanced technology into a sophisticated lifestyle at our residences.
Read on to learn more about how our teams expertly adapt care to the evolving needs of our residents.
Our Detailed Initial Assessments
The first element of ensuring our care is precisely tailored to your needs is the thorough assessment we conduct before you move into one of our residences. One of our relationship partners will sit down with you and your loved ones to sensitively discuss your needs, covering each of the 12 care domains to ensure every aspect of your clinical care is accounted for.
Using this information, your medical history and observations made after you have moved in, our nursing teams will develop a bespoke care plan uniquely tailored to your clinical needs.
During your assessment, we will also discuss your personal preferences, including hobbies, favourite foods and religious and cultural observations, which we incorporate into your plan to ensure you receive perfectly tailored support for your personal and emotional wellbeing.
24-Hour Oversight and Evolving Care Plans
Once you have transitioned into our care, you’ll receive round-the-clock enhanced monitoring. Our nursing teams use advanced technology to monitor vital signs relevant to your needs, including blood pressure, heart rate and glucose levels.
Continuous oversight gives our teams clear insight into changes in your condition, enabling us to respond proactively to medication side effects, post-surgery complications and cardiac and neurological events, far quicker than with traditional observation rounds.
Using the data we gather, we anticipate future changes in your condition to provide the appropriate level of support for your needs. Your care plan will evolve with your requirements, incorporating new medications, therapies and treatments where appropriate to deliver comfort and stability every day.
As your plan evolves, our nursing teams will keep you and your loved ones informed about all changes to your care plan with consistent updates that provide reassurance and clarity.
Care elements we tailor
Our proactive approach enables us to expertly tailor care plans and ensure they evolve with your changing requirements, but what does that mean for a Loveday resident? How is your care adapted during your time with us?
Medication
You will receive personalised assistance with all of your medication from our qualified nursing team, who ensure you receive the correct dosages at consistent times, as well as changing IV drips and administering injections. During your transition into Loveday, they coordinate closely with the relevant individuals, such as your GP or surgical team, to ensure perfect continuity of care and seamlessly integrate new medicines into your plan.
You’ll receive close monitoring for changes in your condition and potential side effects, which they can treat by adjusting dosages or seeking alternatives to find a solution that meets your clinical needs while ensuring you live in comfort and stability.
Therapies and Treatments
All Loveday residents have access to a breadth of specialist treatments, courtesy of our vast network of in-house and visiting experts. During your stay, our clinical teams will recommend new treatments that can help manage ongoing conditions, alleviate symptoms or meet your recovery goals.
These services encompass day-to-day necessities such as appointments with dentists and optometrists, as well as X-rays, physiotherapy and cognitive therapies.
We also provide specialised programmes of bespoke treatments for those with chronic, long-term and life-limiting conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, dementia, diabetes and heart disease. Our approach prioritises your needs and personhood, ensuring that each element is carefully curated to your clinical requirements and anticipates your changing needs. This industry-leading approach recognises the progressive nature of these conditions and ensures you receive expert support, stability and reassurance through every stage.
Physiotherapy and Exercise
We provide a comprehensive range of physiotherapy and exercise regimes to help residents improve and maintain their mobility, heart health and physical wellbeing. Our experts lead group exercise sessions, deliver one-to-one hydrotherapy in our state-of-the-art hydrotreadmill and carry out personalised programmes of physiotherapy to promote healing and movement.
We carefully consider your current physical conditions and recommend appropriate treatments designed to yield the best results for you. All exercises and expert-led physiotherapy treatments will be integrated seamlessly into your care plan to help you meet weight loss or post-surgery recovery goals, improve your stamina and resilience and enable you to move more independently.
The 24-hour oversight from our team enables us to closely monitor the success of these treatments and adjust their frequency and intensity where appropriate to optimise the outcome.
Diet and Nutrition
Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining independence and promoting wellbeing in later life. At Loveday, our lifestyle and kitchen teams collaborate to provide personalised nutritional support that evolves as your needs change.
Menus are flavourful, well-balanced and prepared in-house by our award-winning chefs and carefully incorporate the nutrients, vitamins and calories you need while including personal favourites and respecting religious and cultural requirements.
Not only do we provide a varied diet, but our teams specifically tailor it to help support your clinical requirements. We adjust portion sizes to aid weight loss, reduce red meat for heart health, introduce omega-rich foods like fish to improve brain function and increase protein to preserve muscle mass.
Wound Management
Our nursing teams help individuals recover post-surgery with a bespoke programme of support, including expert wound management. They provide round-the-clock oversight to closely monitor your condition and anticipate each stage to deliver personalised support that optimises your recovery and delivers comfort and stability while you recuperate.
