Purpose-built for caring for older people, Rawalpindi
House was opened in 1980 and has recently undergone a programme of
refurbishment. It offers excellent facilities for 32 people in four
units suitable for group living. Each unit has its own lounge,
dining and kitchen area and all bedrooms are en-suite.
Rawalpindi is a home where any person, whatever your background,
preferences or specific needs, can enjoy a peaceful stay in the
restful surroundings. In the warm and friendly atmosphere, you can
be sure that your needs come first with our trained and sympathetic
staff.
The home uses assistive technology to provide enhanced care
quality to clients. Various alarms like incontinence and epileptic
fit alarms allow staff to be alerted to client needs early. This
facilitates better and focussed care depending on the needs of the
client. The staff at the home will discuss options to use the
service with you and following your concurrence this service will
be provided to you.
The home also provides computer access to residents with
training facilities. This allows for residents to communicate with
relatives across the globe with relative ease at their
convenience.
We aim to provide quality services to the highest standard and
we will always take your personal choices and independence into
account when caring for you. We can cater for a range of special
diets and practices.
In Newham, we aim to uphold the following principles of
care:
• Support for your physical, emotional, cultural, religious or
social needs
• Carrying out a regular individual assessment
• Helping to maintain your independence in a safe and secure
environment
• Giving privacy and dignity
• Offering freedom of choice
• Respecting individual beliefs and culture
If your needs change over time and you become more frail we
promise to help meet your changing needs. This may mean moving from
a residential care home to nursing care where your needs will be
met by a team dedicated to providing higher support care.
