Older Freemasons Care
Caring for the Older Freemasons
The RMBI are committed to ensuring that you and your relative get the most out of life whilst living at any one of our Homes. Our service is comprehensive. We take care of the everyday chores to give you and your relative time to enjoy life, and ensure your particular care need is taken care of.
We operate 17 care homes throughout England and Wales. Some of our Homes are country house style and listed, others are modern and more contemporary. Some Homes are situated in, or close to, a large town, others are nestled in more rural locations. Either way, there will be a care home to suit your preferences.
At our Homes we deliver care in a way that promotes independence and the dignity of the individual.
"My relative could not be cared for in better hands. We are delighted with the Home's standards and service given."
Many people choose to remain in their own homes with support from family or home care services.
There may come a time however, when your needs are such that infrequent home care visits and respite care are not enough, or that you are tired of managing at home, or perhaps a little lonely.
Care homes can offer a positive choice.
Care homes give you the chance to continue to live a full life in spite of any limitations you may have because of health problems.
They offer personalised care around the clock, seven days a week, with staff trained and experienced to support and care for you.
Our Homes are part of their local communities with organised activities, including a variety of events to suit all tastes and abilities.
Different types of people live in care homes with a rich mixture of backgrounds and experiences.
Choosing a care home is like choosing any other place to live. That is why the RMBI believe in treating everyone as an individual to find the right home for you.
First of all you need to decide what type of care you need. At an RMBI Home you can choose from:
Residential Care
Nursing Care
Dementia Care.
"The overall delivery of personal care is excellent and I am very pleased with all the arrangements."

Press Release
“The majority of residents would recommend an RMBI Home to someone else,” says the RMBI. New figures from the RMBI´s independent survey of people living in its care homes and their families, show that they are pleased with the standard of care and facilities provided at their RMBI Home. The survey received a very encouraging response, with 41% of residents and 51% of their next of kins making their thoughts on the survey questionnaire.
According to the survey, 88% of residents felt that their welcome into the Home was excellent or good and 90% were very satisfied or satisfied with their accommodation. 90% of residents felt that staff were always courteous towards them. When it came to questions regarding the condition of everyday life in the care home, 89% of residents felt that they were always able to maintain their privacy and independence, and 86% felt they could always or sometimes go out when they chose to.
The figures were echoed by next of kins, of whom 89% rated their relative´s Home as being very satisfied or satisfied. 87% felt that the Home was well managed and 89% felt that they were always or sometimes able to contribute ideas to the care given to their relative or friend living in the Home.
And when it came to recommending the care home that is looking after their family member, 89% of next of kins and residents themselves said they would recommend the Home to someone else. “What an encouraging response,” said Kevin Harris, Executive Director of Care Operations. “Our residents and their relatives are the people who really know about the care provided in our Homes - and their views are important to us. We are not complacent and know from the results of the survey that there is room for improvement, but I am particularly pleased with the number of residents and relatives who rated our services as very satisfactory or satisfactory,” says Kevin.
David Innes, Chief Executive, RMBI, says “Our staff are very dedicated in their work to provide the best individual care to our residents and relatives. I am pleased that this survey shows their efforts are being appreciated by the people who matter.” The survey of residents and their next of kins is carried out every year throughout all RMBI care homes in England and Wales.
They will be repeated in future as part of the RMBI´s ongoing commitment to assess the quality of its service provision to residents and their next of kins. A plan of action appropriate to the local circumstances of each Home is being developed to address the points raised from the survey.

Older Freemasons Care
Caring for the Older Freemasons
A residential home is designed for people who find it difficult to care for themselves at home but are still looking to maintain some independence. The emphasis of this type of care is to provide 24 hour, around the clock, support from trained carers.
There is a wide range of reasons for needing this type of support. It can help you to continue living safely, whilst giving your family or carer peace of mind knowing you are in a safe and supportive environment.
Learn more about what we provide in our residential care homes. No matter what type of care you require, all of our Homes will provide you with the following:
·Day to day support
·A comfortable and safe environment to live in
·A well balanced diet to maintain healthy living
·Activities of real interest and enjoyment
·Privacy and dignity
·Support for your physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social needs
·Personal care - that is, assistance with getting up and going to bed, eating, washing, dressing and using the amenities that the Home has to offer.
In addition, you will have your own personal accommodation, and we encourage you to enjoy your life, whilst living in the Home.
"We appreciate all the care and concern for our relative and the commitment of all staff for the benefit of the residents."
We want you to think of the care home as your 'home' in the truest sense of the word.
You will be consulted about all aspects of home life, including the details of what help you need on a day to day basis and how you would like to receive that help.
You will be provided with a key to your room and are free to come and go from your accommodation as you want.
We encourage you to personalise your room with small items of your own furniture and we will treat your space with the same respect and privacy as we would your own home.
There are also small kitchens in each wing where you are able to make drinks for your guests.
As a resident in one of our care homes, you may invite family and friends as you wish and entertain them in the privacy of your room or in one of the lounges in the Home.
