Resource Centres for Older People
Worcestershire County Council Resource Centres provide
intermediate care services, specialist respite care and day
opportunities for older people.
Our Centres
As an indication of our high standards of care
these centres were awarded Customer Service Excellence Status in
recognition of excellent service. The centres employ professional
and experienced staff group from health and social care.
Our Aim
We will work in partnership with you to
provide you with opportunities and time to develop or regain your
abilities in everyday activities. When you have reached your full
potential, we will support and enable you to make informed and
realistic choices regarding your future.
- We recognise that each person using any of
our services has their own needs, wishes, likes and dislikes and we
will make every effort to meet these in an individual
way.
- We encourage and welcome you to have a say in
everything that affects your daily life and we will take your
comments seriously.
- We aim to provide a warm, homely and
therapeutic atmosphere. You will always be treated with courtesy
and respect and be provided with a private bedroom for the duration
of your stay with us.
- We will respect your privacy and dignity. We
want you to feel secure, comfortable, and independent and have the
companionship you chose.
Carers and families play an important part in
your care planning and are encouraged to be involved as much as
possible, according to your wishes.
We hope that your decision to use any of our
services will be a positive, personal choice.
