When a family is thinking about care for a loved<br />
one, they want the best - they want to know that<br />
the care home they choose will put their loved<br />
one’s safety, happiness and wellbeing first.<br />
Care UK’s Perry Manor care home in Worcester, a CQC rated<br />
‘Outstanding’ home, provides residential, dementia and nursing<br />
care, giving families peace of mind that their loved ones can stay<br />
living at the home should their needs change.<br />
<strong>Living</strong> at Perry Manor is all about quality of life. Every colleague in<br />
the home is passionate about enabling residents to enjoy a fulfilling<br />
lifestyle, tailored around their unique needs and preferences. The<br />
lifestyle team organises a huge variety of group and one-to-one<br />
activities, with plenty going on each day.<br />
The team at Perry Manor are proud to have achieved some great<br />
results in the recent relative survey, in fact 95% of families feel<br />
their loved ones are treated with kindness, respect and dignity^.<br />
One relative said “They are extremely diligent. Communication is<br />
excellent and so is attention to detail. When I visit Dad, they will<br />
check if dad needs anything and let me know so I can bring it in. The<br />
care home manager is excellent.” (Relative of a resident – April <strong>2022</strong>)<br />
Once their relative has settled into Perry Manor they are able to<br />
focus on spending quality time with them again just enjoying each<br />
other’s company.<br />
Unsightly veins?<br />
We have the answer<br />
Varicose and spider veins are very<br />
common. While they are different entities<br />
to each other with different causes,<br />
neither should be expected to resolve<br />
spontaneously and can affect adults of all<br />
ages. This leaves those who suffer from<br />
them distressed and in need of help...<br />
The NHS only approves treatment for varicose veins in a few<br />
exceptional situations and does not offer treatment for spider<br />
veins at all. This leaves large numbers of people in need of help.<br />
This help is now at hand with a comprehensive new vascular<br />
service at The Wye Clinic in Hereford. Leading this service is Mr<br />
Bajwa, an experienced consultant vascular surgeon who offers<br />
the most up-to-date assessment and treatments for all vascular<br />
problems, including varicose and spider veins.<br />
The vital first stage in any assessment is an in-depth<br />
consultation. Understanding how someone is affected by<br />
troublesome veins, along with their hopes and expectations,<br />
is key. Though spider veins and varicose veins have different<br />
causes, they can co-exist. Having an expert such Mr Bajwa<br />
assess how the problem has occurred and discuss the possible<br />
treatment options is essential to achieving the best outcomes.<br />
Investigations such as ultrasound scanning are often needed to<br />
provide the detailed information needed to plan the best way<br />
forward.<br />
With the extra support that Perry Manor offers, new residents are<br />
often surprised at what they can do, whether that’s being able<br />
to continue with an activity they’ve enjoyed in the past, or even<br />
discovering new hobbies with our daily activities.<br />
Perry Manor is part of award-winning provider, Care UK – one<br />
of the UK’s most successful care home operators* with over 40<br />
years’ experience of delivering high quality care to older people.<br />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Troublesome veins such as varicose and spider veins can bleed,<br />
become painful and are usually unsightly. They can also cause<br />
skin changes and ulcers. Any of these problems on its own is a<br />
reason for treatment though they may develop together.<br />
Treatment for varicose and spider veins has many forms. These<br />
treatments can be used either individually or in conjunction with<br />
each-other in a management plan that is individualised for every<br />
patient. Mr Bajwa is an expert and offers all the most modern and<br />
safe treatments available. Whether it be state-of-the-art foam<br />
treatments, radiofrequency ablation, or phlebectomy they are all<br />
available at The Wye Clinic. With local anaesthetic, recovery is<br />
quicker meaning you are back up and running in no time.<br />
