About Flowers Manor
Flowers Manor in Chippenham provides residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia and residents with a visual or hearing impairment. We are a home where staff and residents know one another properly, and most of what we do rests on that familiarity. The day is not run to a strict timetable. People get up when they are ready, eat food cooked on the premises that is worth looking forward to, and spend their time in company or quietly as they prefer. Support with washing and dressing is given unhurriedly. Where someone has a sensory impairment we pay attention to the details that matter, such as saying who we are as we come into the room, explaining what is about to happen before we help, and keeping belongings exactly where they were left. Dementia care asks for patience rather than correction. When a resident is anxious, or looking for a person or place from an earlier part of their life, we respond to the feeling rather than arguing with the facts, and we gather life history early so that we know what comforts them. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and families are welcome throughout the day.
