Residential Care at Bridge Haven

Residential Care at Avante Bridge Haven in Bridge near Canterbury is designed around the individual; our care plans focus on our resident’s individual needs. At Avante, “Everyone Matters” and we make sure that everyone has a vibrant and fulfilling life when living in our care homes. We believe that every person is different, special, and unique, and that’s why we follow the Eden Alternative, philosophy of care. Our approach is to think about ‘care’ differently, being positive rather than negative and considering admission into a care home as the start of a new life. Our staff are always on hand to support everyday activities, such as mobility, help with personal care, washing, dressing, or eating. In addition, highly skilled and experienced care staff are available around the clock for more specific support.

Activities & Wellbeing

We encourage residents to take part in our extensive range of activities as part of delivering an environment that takes care of their overall wellbeing. At all of our homes, we have at least one activities coordinator, and every day, at least two different activities are scheduled. We are focused on ensuring that life at home is as pleasurable as possible (like great food, wine, friendships, and fun), and all the difficulties minimised as much as possible. We take pride in the food and nutrition we offer, and we constantly change our menus to ensure that our food is homely and there is plenty of variety on the menu all the time. Our care team is always in contact with residents’ families to ensure the care level is adequate and help arrange for loved ones to visit.
