Personalised care of the highest quality

At Merling Care Homes we provide a range of care types to suit the individual’s needs. Care is personalised, with the care plans carefully constructed and available to all staff charged with the care of the resident.

Nursing care

Glebe House is registered for nursing care, with skilled and experienced staff focussed on ensuring the well-being and health of residents.

We also provide specialist nursing needs, so whether it’s a permanent/long term condition or recovering from a procedure, the team are well positioned and equipped to accommodate and provide a high standard of care. The varied and wide range of needs we cover continues to be a strength of the home.

Residential care

Both homes provide residential care.  This type of care is for those who simply require some support with daily activities and have no requirement for nursing. This care remains a strength at the home and care includes; meals, activities, housekeeping and 24hr support for any additional needs.

Dementia care

Our staff at both homes are trained and experienced in caring for residents with Alzheimer, Dementia and other forms of memory loss. We recognise everyone is different so offer person-centred care with specially designed programs to respond to particular needs.

It is important our residents feel safe in communal areas and that their room is a familiar and welcoming space. We encourage them to decorate their rooms with things that evoke happy memories, such as photographs, furniture, mementoes and anything reminding them of family and loved ones.

We promote socialising and have daily group and solo activities to keep residents stimulated and active.  On the warmer days, we love to go outside and enjoy our wonderful gardens filled with many flowers, plants and herbs, to awaken residents’ senses.

Respite care

Sometimes all that’s needed is a break, whether that be for the care giver or the person being cared for.  Our respite care across both homes provides just that with remarkable benefits to overall health and well-being for everyone.  Nutricious food, socialising in group activities, additional medical care or simply just a change of scenery can all have a massive impact.  For your peace of mind and convenience, you can now pre-book respite stays up to a year in advance.

We ensure the same level of service is afforded with respite care as we give our permanent residents and clarify needs and preferences before creating an individual short-term care plan for the duration of their stay.

The well-being of our residents is extremely important to us and we encourage involvement in daily activities that they will enjoy to make their time with us more fun, fulfilled and social. 

Palliative care

We have a dedicated team at both homes of experienced healthcare professionals that understand how to tactfully and compassionately support families and their their loved ones during this difficult and often stressful time.  

Our aim is to not only deliver the best care we can, but to also ensure people are kept as comfortable as possible, whilst tending to the emotional needs and well-being of the clients and their families at all times.
