Residential Case Study

Client B was born in 1933 and originally came from Hertfordshire but moved to Newport with her husband. Following his death she moved to the Priory Nursing & Residental Home in 2000.

With the exception of diabetes this client is not dependent and is able to dress and care for herself. However, she also has the reassurance of knowing that there are qualified staff to hand twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The client enjoys the activities that are available in the home which include Art Classes, Bingo, Films and Day Trips. Furthermore, as she is a smoker she enjoys relaxing and enjoying the views from the smoking room.

There are no visiting restrictions in the home so her family and friends can drop by whenever they like. In addition the home is in an area of outstanding natural beauty so there are a number of walks around the home that afford spectacular views of the Wye Valley.

The resident chef offers a good variety of traditional food with a choice of three dishes and morning and afternoon coffee with cake and biscuits.

Whilst this particular client maintains a high level of dependence the home provides an enhanced quality of life in a safe and secure environment whilst maintaining her dignity and independence.
