Radius Care homes cover the full range of accommodation and care options, from rest home and hospital level care right through to dementia, respite and palliative. These broad offerings allow for ‘ageing in place’, so if any of their residents’ needs change they are able to stay with the Radius team.
As Radius Care explain, once a person has been assessed as requiring care, it may be that they have some home base support to start with. This may then progress to them needing some day care, and then some respite care which will be in an aged care facility.
Short-term stays, or respite care services, are available to those who are unwell (eg, recovering from an illness or hospital stay) or who simply are in need of extra support.
From that environment, and if their acuity was to increase, then they may require being assessed for either rest home or hospital level of care. Hospital level care is provided for those residents who have a significant disability and medical concerns. Expert assistance is delivered by a team of professionally trained doctors and nurses, 24 hours a day, and covers all aspects of personal care from medication and pain management to ongoing emotional support
End of life care and palliative care is a more clinical model with very high input from hospice teams, and their support is generally provided by health professionals, such as the registered nurses and the doctors. Radius provides an excellent quality of service and their level of care is based around their ethics beliefs, the courage, the compassion, the commitment, and within that model there is certainly the capacity for the person and their families to influence the level of care that is required.
When you bring your loved one into care, Radius are not only taking care of the older adult, they are also looking at taking care of the family, and they become a part of the wider Radius family. Concerns and worries are taken away by the staff, and if you need someone to talk to about those worries you may have about your parent, the Radius family are there for you. You can also continue to have family relationships while in care.
