Finding the right care
Everyone is different, and sometimes its hard to know which type of care suits your friendly, family or relative. These common scenarios may help you understand what support is available, and which is best for you.
Launched in 2019, Reconnect is Orchard’s pioneering specialist care approach for people whose needs may be more complex than traditional care settings can support.
With highly trained teams, therapeutic environments and person-centred care, Reconnect helps people feel safer, more settled and better supported every day.
Choosing the right care for your loved one can feel overwhelming, but Orchard Healthcare Group are here to help. We’ve put together this handy FAQ on popular questions about care homes so you can take the next steps in your journey. Still unsure? Get in touch with the friendly team!
The right option depends on the person’s needs, health and daily routine. Don’t worry – if you’re unsure, our team can talk things through, explain the different care types and help you understand what may be the best fit. We’ll also meet your loved one before any decisions are made, to ensure our care package is right for you.
Absolutely! Care needs can change over time, and many people move to a different level of support as their circumstances evolve. We’ll always help plan the next step with care and sensitivity.
Not every care home in the group offers the same services, so it’s important to check before you enquire. Some homes provide residential care, some nursing care, and some offer our specialist Reconnect support. We can help you find the right home based on the care needed and preferred location.
We’re more than happy to work at a pace that suits you and won’t push you to make any decision you’re uncomfortable with.
