The Grange Health Care Facility is situated on the beautiful island of St.Kitts. It is a private organisation, established in 2000. Situated just 7 miles from the capital city of Basseterre, it is the first purpose built private health care institution on the island, thus pioneering community based care for the elderly on St.Kitts. The objective is to offer high quality client oriented care as its main priority. The ambiance is serene and tranquil with beautifully landscaped grounds allowing the clients to feel safe whilst at the same time not restricting their mobility or freedom.
The services include:
- Nursing and Residential Care
- Convalescent Care
- Day Care Facilities for Seniors
- Rehabilitation and Complimentary Therapies
- Arranged care services for visitors to the island
- Facilitating training of nurses and care assistants
Care is managed and supervised by trained and skilled nursing and caring staff 24 hours a day. Training opportunities are provided for staff at all levels, and there is collaboration with local and international teaching institutions.
The organisation has an affiliated medical doctor, a registered nurse consultant and a nurse educator who plan each client’s care individually. Both local and international auditors have rated the service provision as being comparable to UK and North american standards.
The caregivers at the Grange recognises that moving into a care home is often accompanied by negative feelings and a sense of loss of status and possibly control. All interested parties are encouraged to become partners in care. The care provided is tailored to meet the needs (social, personal, medical or nursing) of each individual. It is provided on the basis of an assessment that is both timely and comprehensive. At all times care is provided with respect and in a manner that is sensitive, maintaining the dignity or the care recipient. The privacy of individuals is ensured, particularly in all matters pertaining to intimate care-giving. Cultural and gender needs are also assessed and planned for. A home-like environment is created as far as possible to match each individual. The rooms are spacious and the highest standard of general cleanliness is maintained 24 hours daily.
Care giving is never coercive, and we always guard against the risk of abuse and restraint. Nothing is done to make individuals lose their self esteem. Everyone is assisted in making choices about the care they receive.
The care the Grange offers is holistic, encompassing needs at all levels as they arise. “ WE AIM TO DELIVER THE BEST CARE.”
