Setting Auriens Chelsea apart from any other establishment is the quality of our on-site healthcare. Our partners, Draycott Nursing & Care, have over 20 years of experience in providing the highest quality in-home care. The organisation has an impeccable reputation in its field as well as being highly recommended by London’s top GPs, consultants and hospitals.
When a little extra support might be required, Draycott’s experience and expertise ensures that residents receive first-rate attention exactly where they need it, in the comfort of their own homes.
After 19 years working as both a ward sister and Deputy Matron at King Edward VII’s Hospital for Officers in Marylebone, Angela Hamlin established Draycott in 1996 with the aim of providing high quality care solutions for those at home. Soon she was engaged by her first clients: a member of the British Royal Family and a Hollywood film star. Since then, she has devoted her life to building a company that is now regarded as the most trusted care agency in London.
Draycott has a qualified Nurse Tutor as a permanent member of staff to ensure that anyone wearing the Draycott badge has received the finest possible training and will be up-to-date with the latest thinking and best practice in healthcare for later life.
Clients and carers are matched very carefully. Whether spending the occasional hour together or several a week, a Care Coordinator is in charge of matching personalities of carers and clients. The approach is very much person-centred taking into consideration the needs, requirements and wishes of clients and their families.
Key to the partnership between Auriens and Draycott is the chance for a resident to be cared for in the comfort of their own home.
When it comes to requiring extra assistance, residents can choose from a range of nursing and care options to suit their personal requirements. As part of our commitment, carers are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
Studies abound that keeping active and eating well has a range of health benefits. Here at Auriens, members of the Draycott team, qualified physiotherapists and personal trainers are available to advise on the most up-to-date ways of staying healthy.
Good nutrition is vital for everyone’s well-being, and our regularly-changing restaurant and room service menu inspires with its choice of the best seasonal produce and healthy options. A nutritionist is also available on request.
Auriens Chelsea is not just a place to reside but to socialise, an important aspect for many in their later lives.
Amenities such as the bar, restaurant and reading room are perfect places to meet friends, whether for afternoon tea, a game of cards or a light supper. There are also group activities organised by our dedicated team such as talks from top gallery directors on the latest exhibitions, visits to plays at the Royal Court, the latest antique fairs or tutorials on literature and the arts.
An ambition for the apartments at Auriens is that they should not just be finished superbly, but that they should incorporate every element of cutting-edge design and technology to suit later life living. This includes future-proofing the design to cater for the changing requirements of each and every resident.
Every aspect of the design has been examined through the prism of Draycott’s 20-plus years of care experience, making sure each residence is fit for purpose.
