What’s happening at Ambient

Supporting people to leave a hospital setting

Ambient has the capability to provide commissioned Discharge to Assess services offering individual support to people who have just left hospital.

Discharge to Assess services may also be delivered in self-contained extra care apartments where we can assess people in a real home environment.

Support needs and progress are carefully monitored to assess and maximise people’s ability to return to their own homes or, if this is not possible, to move on to more suitable accommodation.

A great chance to socialise and have some fun!

Many of our care settings act as hubs for day centre and activity day services, where guests can join in with a host of events.

It’s a great chance for people to make new friends or meet up with old ones in a warm and supportive environment.

As well as socialising, guests can enjoy some gentle exercise to improve mobility, flexibility and general wellbeing.

There are even opportunities to learn new skills and explore creativity with arts, crafts and music sessions.

Independent living with a little extra support when required

Ambient offers housing and extra care services for older people who can live independently but may need a few hours of care and support each week. Extra Care provides:

• Self-contained accommodation designed to offer independence and safety
• Planned care and support in a person’s own home
• 24-hour scheduled care and domestic support and alarm system
• Help to arrange assisted technologies for frail or disabled residents
• Onsite staff who provide individual assessed care
• Communal facilities and social activities

Residents who live in our extra care apartments can apply for support via local adult social care services or may pay privately.

The apartments are developed in partnership with a housing association which acts as landlord, while Ambient provides the required day-to-day care and support to people.

Treating people with the utmost dignity and respect

Ambient’s staff teams in our older adult services are especially skilled in supporting both the individual and their families through end of life care. 

They are experienced in providing the best end of life support, helping people live as comfortably as possible during the last weeks or months of their lives.

We work closely with each resident, their families and health care professionals to develop a plan of care that reflects their wishes and preferences, and ensures they are treated with the utmost dignity and respect.

We are also highly skilled in supporting the families and friends of those we care for through this difficult time.

Providing respite care secure in the knowledge your loved one is well cared for

Families and carers of older people need to be able to enjoy a break now and then, knowing that those they look after will be safe and well cared for while they are away.

Our staff teams welcome temporary guests into our homes, who can enjoy our facilities, activities and events alongside our permanent residents.

Many return as regular visitors and come back time and time again to visit us.

Living with dementia and Alzheimer’s

Some of our homes are especially suited to caring for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. The staff in these homes are trained to levels 2 and 3 in Regulated Quality Framework (RQF) standards in Dementia Care & Awareness.  Our teams also offer training, advice and support to friends and family of residents living with these conditions.

Ambient Support understands that choosing to move into a care home or looking for a care setting for a loved one is a difficult time for all concerned.

It is important that people are given all the facts and understand exactly what choices they have.

We encourage anyone looking for care for themselves or a family member to take the time to visit our homes, to see if they are the right setting and can provide the care and support that is needed.

Our aim is always to be open and transparent with people about exactly what the fees they pay will include and the terms under which they become a resident with us.
