As people grow older, we understand that it may take longer to settle into a new environment.
By understanding that basic premise, we believe we make it a lot easier for our residents to adapt to their new surroundings. Nothing is rushed, nothing is hurried.
You hear a lot these days about the importance of “holistic” care - looking after the needs of the whole person. At Roughan House, care reflects individuality. We find out your physical, psychological and spiritual needs and set about fulfilling these needs with focus on the details and little extras that complete the holistic approach. The focus on mental stimulation through activities and therapies is unrivalled in any other nursing home in Northern Ireland. For many years we’ve been offering alternative therapies such as reflexology, aromatherapy, yoga and beauty therapy – all of which contribute to a well-rounded menu of care programme and if you are up to trying something new, we’ll help you do it!
The quality threshold, we set ourselves, is very high and we keep raising the bar! No-one judges ourselves more harshly than we do. To maintain the highest standards, we challenge and stimulate our care teams to incorporate the latest innovations in care and actively work to improve the quality of life for every resident. That’s why our teams are proud to work in Roughan House. They know they can recommend Roughan House to a relative or friend with complete confidence.
When residents join us, it doesn’t mean cutting off their links with the larger community. Far from it. In fact we actively encourage everyone to maintain links with those around us. We promote simple things like daily walks to the paper shops or organized shopping trips, visits to museums, to relatives, to places of interest. We have strong relationships with schools and groups and with Churches of all denominations. We facilitate weekly church services and support on-going cross cultural exchange through the innovative activity programmes we provide.
Roughan House is a values-based and forward thinking company. Where we take our responsibility to our community very seriously, we are proud to support Business in the Community on a wide range of community development and regeneration initiatives and promote the benefits of good Corporate Social Responsibility. We encourage and support our staff to help those around them and to use their skills and talents to help those in need.
