Who Owns Eventide

Eventide Is Owned By A Registered Charity.
It is administered by Officers and a Committee Of Trustees, all of whom are volunteers.
The Company Secretary is Mrs. Sandra Jones
The object of the Charity is to promote the care and relief of the elderly in particular through the provision of a residential care home.

The primary objective here at Eventide is to provide a secure and comfortable "home-from-home" for our residents, who feel that a little help in their day- to-day enjoyment of life does not in any way affect their independence.

Eventide is set in a prime location overlooking the golf course and a short distance from the beach. It is a level walking area, and when weather permits service users are able to enjoy the short walk.

Those who are not able to go out alone are assisted by staff. We have a small front garden where service users can sit and chat to each other or passers by

The Home provides care for both sexes. Admission to the Home depends on the "Accepted Criteria" being met, and the ability of the prospective client to be able to live "comfortably" with those already in residence.

Only if a resident should develop a condition that causes them to become a danger to the health and safety of other residents or staff, or disruptive and upsetting to other residents, would we recommend that they transfer to care better suited to their needs.

Our Objectives

We encourage our residents to retain their belief in their individuality, and to make decisions regarding their lifestyle within a relaxed environment.
Care is given to their surroundings to create an atmosphere of comfort and homeliness.
Eventide will be the home of the resident which undertakes to enlist the support of the National Health Service as necessary to enable a resident to remain in the Home in the event of illness, unless the resident's Doctor recommends alternative arrangements.

Residents have the right to self-determination and the management of their own affairs, unless a Medical Practitioner, or an order under the Court of Protection, states that a resident is legally unable to do so.
Residents will be offered a choice from the full and varied menus. Special diets are catered for.
Short-term nursing care is provided with the support of the Community Nurses and relevant medical bodies. The Home does not provide long-term nursing care.

Our Famous Home Cooked Food.

Here at Eventide in Bude we are renowned for the quality of the Home Cooked Food we produce for our residents. They are given a choice from a varied menu. Special diets can also be catered for.

Accomodation

The Home has a range of accommodation, including bedrooms of varying sizes, spread over three floors. There is a lift to each floor. Some rooms on the first and second floors are reached via three existing steps; therefore, a reasonable degree of mobility is needed here. Some of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities, whilst there are two bathrooms and one shower room, all with specialist equipment such as bath-lifts, grab rails and safety aids. There are five communal toilets, a sun lounge, lounge and dining room. A call-system is provided in every room.

Admission Of Residents

Eventide has established a distinctive criteria for 'the admission of residents to the Home (including those in times of emergencies) in line with the accepted policies and procedures for the standard of care to be provided. The needs of all residents are assessed by the Manager and Assistant Managers and a written care plan produced for each resident with their approval, and that of their family. This care plan is regularly reviewed and updated.

Entertainment At Eventide

A varied programme of entertainment and social activities is provided within the Home, and the community. We also try to get several day trips out during the summer months.

Trustee Visits

Monthly "Home Visits" are carried out by Trustees of the Charity when residents are given the opportunity to express their views on the running of the Home. Members of the Charity visit the Home on other occasions for a variety of purposes. Residents can speak to the members of the Committee at any time.

Safety

Fire precautions and associated emergency procedures are carried out in consultation with the statutory authorities. There are also very regular Health and Safety checks carried out and we have our own resident maintenance man, Del, who ensures that the guests accommodation is kept up to the standard they would expect in their own home. For added safety residents may have their own telephone in their room but are responsible for their own bills.

Spiritual Needs

Ministers from various religions regularly visit the Home. There is also a wide range of churches and religious groups in the community to suit the choice of the individual residents. Residents are encouraged to follow their cultural, religious and political beliefs, including voting at National and Local Elections.

Visitors

Eventide has an "Open Door" policy for visits by family and friends at any time during the normal social hours of a day. They are given a warmth of hospitality typical of our caring staff. It is, however, the resident's choice to decide whom they will see. Obviously during the Covid Pandemic Visiting has been restricted for residents safety.
