Specialist mental health care Providing support for people to enable them to improve their mental health and wellbeing and to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. The aim of such care services will be to support people and to prevent them from needing to be readmitted to hospital for treatment of their mental health problems. Residential Care When it comes to personal care we have a comprehensive approach that is there to support and promote the wellbeing of each resident, individually. You may hear the term personcentred care coined frequently by care companies. We not only have a philosophy which centres around the care needs of each individual, we take that philosophy and put it into practice each and every day. We know that no two individuals are the same and that s why we offer individually tailored specialist care packages. Peoples condition can change across time so we also constantly monitor residents needs to ensure we are meeting them. Respite Care We also proudly offer respite care, as a temporary alternative to an individuals usual care arrangements. This helps the carer to enjoy a well deserved break or holiday to recharge their batteries.

4 Our care is focused around each person s individual needs and wishes Life at Colne House We pride ourselves of offering our residents an excellent quality of life in all of our Kingsley Care Homes, and here at Colne House it is no different. Colne House is packed full of life, laughter and love, and throughout the day we actively encourage our residents to take part in daily activities. These activities range from exercise and dance to flower arranging and skittles. We also understand that each resident is different and each day is different, so there are quiet spaces for residents to relax and enjoy their own company. Throughout the year there are also organized events and trips out to enjoy. These include summer BBQ s, themed events, birthday celebrations, and evenings out.
