Residential Respite Care
Short term residential respite care is also available. This is subject to the applicant holding approval for respite care, and subject to availability. There is a high demand for respite placement and advanced bookings are recommended.
Residential Dementia Care
Within the residential care services there are two (2) secure memory support wings, both of fourteen (14) beds, for the specific care of older persons living with dementia.
“Why a Secure Unit?” Residents admitted to the memory support wings have specific dementia care needs because of impaired capacity. Risk Assessments are initially carried out and regularly reviewed in respect to their ongoing safety and security. We have a duty of care for each resident’s safety and security. Should a resident be accidently allowed to leave the facility un-accompanied it would create significant distress on the resident, relatives, visitors and staff, and for this reason, it is our practice to manage entry and departure from these secure wings.
An acceptance of placement is Bromley Court is an acceptance of placement in a secure unit/environment. Residents are free to come and go while accompanied by a suitable relative or friend.
