Elegant, comfortable and very much a home from home. Glais House’s rooms are the perfect luxury nursing care accommodation located in the village of Glais in Swansea. Due to the popularity of the home, it has been extended and refurbished extensively. A significant portion of the home is now purpose built and the care home successfully combines both traditional features and high quality modern facilities.
Large and Comfortable Rooms
All rooms are decorated and equipped to a standard that we would expect for ourselves. We look at the rooms as the place where our own family members would feel comfortable and be happy to live in.
We provide care in 45 single rooms and 2 shared rooms. We have different types of rooms from standard and larger rooms, with and without en suite facilities, showers and balconies.
All bedrooms have profiling beds, nurse call systems, sensors of a different type i.e. static, portable or floor sensors. Other specialist equipment i.e. crash mats, bedrails extensions, repose equipment are in place as per individuals’ assessed needs.
We have 3 walk-in showers and use a number of different shower chairs based on the needs of individuals. We have 3 Corendo shower chairs which are not only comfortable for the individuals but also very easy to use and beneficial for staff when it comes to moving and handling. We have 2 baths – Malibu and Parker sensory bath which are great for individuals who enjoy find bathing relaxing.
Our rooms seamlessly blend the traditional with the latest in technology, including having Skype & wifi Access. The phone system is wireless – so individuals are able to speak to their friends and relatives in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms.
We have a number of areas where individuals can sit, including enclosed and open gardens and patios. We encourage individuals to spend as much time as possible outside, when the weather permits.
We work on our gardens year on year and try to improve it to give individuals a homely place to spend their time in. Some of the individuals like to walk outside with their families or our staff and find this activity very relaxing and refreshing.
We encourage individuals to grow their own vegetables and plants and we have created a small growing patch which is accessible for wheelchair users. The products are then used for preparation of our meal or a snack, e.g. strawberries, apples.
