Residential care

Aurem Care provides 24-hour care and support with independence and respect.

Overview

There comes a time when the things that you used to take for granted, become difficult to cope with. Loneliness and isolation can creep in and can lead to declining health and depression.

Aurem residential care maintains individual lifestyle choices, allowing people to enjoy stimulating and fulfilling lives.

Our residential communities build new friendships and relationships. Residents continue to enjoy hobbies and pastimes and acquire new interests and opportunities within an inclusive family community setting.

Our expertise

We strongly believe that every resident is an individual and should be given the individual care that they need and deserve. So, our experienced care assistants get to know every resident, so that they can provide for their individual needs.

Each resident has their own private space, as well as access to community areas, including lounges, dining areas and communal gardens, where they can meet and socialise with family, friends, and other residents.

There’s no substitute for seeing our care in action and we warmly welcome you to visit your preferred Aurem Care home.

Frequently asked questions

What is residential care?

Residential care means long-term care provided in a care home. It’s for people who need substantial help with their personal care. It helps older people to maintain their independence for longer, whilst receiving ongoing care and support to help them carry out everyday tasks that they find difficult to do alone.

What does residential care include?

At each Aurem care home we build residential care plans. It allows a completely personalised relationship-centred care plan and means each resident can enjoy a fulfilled life.

Our experienced care team builds a strong relationship with each resident and has a closer insight into physical, emotional, and social needs as well as any likes or dislikes, helping us to tailor their care plan to their exact requirements.

As part of their residential care plans, our residents can enjoy our very own hair salon, relaxing in our cafe, sitting in our beautiful landscaped gardens, or enjoy their favourite meals prepared every day by our qualified chefs, and much more.

How is residential care different to nursing care?

The main difference is that residential care offers day-to-day support provided by carers. Whereas nursing care offers more complex medical support to those with long-term conditions or illnesses and is provided by registered nurses.

Residential care supports those who wish to maintain their independence but require additional support when carrying out everyday tasks, such as someone with reduced mobility who needs assistance with bathing, dressing or cooking. This can vary from little to more frequent support, where we adapt our residential care based on the choices and personal preferences of each resident.

Nursing care is provided by registered nurses, who are qualified to carry out tasks such as administering medication, wound care and helping those with long-term conditions or illnesses to live more comfortably. To ensure your loved one receives the highest standard of care, our nurses receive continual professional and personal development training.

  • Staff appear to be genuinely fond of Dad…

    Staff accompanying my Dad to a medical appointment in Edinburgh couldn’t have been nicer with him. He was cheerful and sociable throughout, glad to meet up with family members – it was like a jolly outing for him! 

    But this has been our experience of Aaron House – staff appear to be genuinely fond of Dad, he seems to have been well entertained throughout the Covid years and appears to be happy. The care home always strikes me as a lively place with staff organising activities, not leaving residents to sit and fester. Since going into Aaron (initially with my Mum who has since passed away) he has gained weight (they seem to feed him well!) and is no longer the gaunt, isolated figure he used to be when he and Mum were struggling to go on living at home. 

    My brother and I are very grateful for the enthusiastic care Aaron House has shown for our Dad (and previously for Mum) since he moved in three years ago.
