Making everyday exceptional for our residents
Choosing the right care home is a difficult decision, often accompanied by many questions and considerations. Families are looking for a care home that not only meets the care needs of their relative but also offers a sense of belonging and community.
At Coombe House Residential Care Home, located in the stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Streatley, Berkshire, we take pride in offering Exceptional Care Every Day. Our family-run home is dedicated to creating a warm, supportive environment for residents and their families.
Whether you are planning a visit or considering long-term arrangements, here’s a guide to understanding care services and to help you make this important decision.
At Coombe House, we prioritise peace, privacy, and independence while fostering an engaging, supportive atmosphere. Residents benefit from tailored care plans that respect their individual needs and preferences. Our cognitive enhancing activities such as arts and crafts, discussion groups, and energising scenic countryside walks, ensure that each day is fulfilling. With regular outings to nearby village, riverside near Goring coffee spots or the local pub, we integrate the beauty of Berkshire’s landscape into daily life, enriching both physical and mental well-being.
For residents requiring end-of-life support, our palliative care services focus on dignity, comfort, and comprehensive emotional and practical support. Our compassionate team works closely with families to navigate this challenging journey, ensuring that each individual’s preferences are respected.
Caring for a loved one can be rewarding yet demanding. Our respite care services offer families a chance to recharge while their loved ones experience the same high standard of care as our permanent residents. With personalised support and enriching activities, residents can feel at home during their stay.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Streatley, surrounded by unspoilt nature on the Oxfordshire and Berkshire border, Coombe House benefits from the tranquil surrounding of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering residents a serene environment for relaxation and rejuvenation. Our home is easily accessible via convenient transport links to Reading, Oxford, and surrounding areas, making visits simple for family and friends.
As a family-run care home, we bring a personal touch to everything we do. Our approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that residents feel part of our extended family. We believe this makes a meaningful difference in the care and community we provide.
Our commitment to delivering exceptional care every day is reflected in our Outstanding CQC rating and the expertise of our highly trained, long serving staff. Every member of our team is dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment that allows residents to thrive in their own way, all while providing exceptional care.
At Coombe House, we understand that true care includes both physical and emotional needs. Our wide variety meals are freshly prepared, catering to individual dietary requirements, and our activities are designed to stimulate the mind, body, and spirit. From gentle exercise classes to memory-focused tasks for dementia residents and musical celebrations, we aim to provide enriching experiences for everyone.
As you explore care home options, consider asking these essential questions to ensure the best fit for your loved one:
• Costs and Transparency: What is included in the fees? Are there additional charges for services like hairdressing, physiotherapy or newspapers?
• Care and Staffing: What are the staff’s qualifications? What is the resident-to-staff ratio? Are staff available around the clock?
• Facilities and Activities: What is included in the room? How are meals prepared? What activities are available, and how are they tailored to residents’ abilities?
• Future Support: How does the care home handle the changing needs, such as increased medical support or dementia care?
At Coombe House, we are happy to provide clear, honest answers to these questions during your visit.
