Admissions
Admission planning
We encourage anyone considering Peregrine House to join us for a visit to experience the atmosphere and level of service we offer.
The admission process is carefully planned with specialist requirements put in place before any new resident arrives at Peregrine House, ensuring a relaxed welcome and smooth transition in lifestyle.
Only in cases of emergency and at the request of medical or social services staff is it sometimes appropriate to admit the resident before completion of these formalities.
Familiarisation
Day-care can be arranged whilst waiting for a residential vacancy. This provides time to get to know the staff and other residents, adjusting to our environment gradually. A six week trial period as a resident is always given before embarking on long-term residence.
Assessing care needs
Prior to admission, our manager will visit a potential resident in their own home or in hospital, to assess the appropriate care needs and gather as much relevant information as possible from the resident, family and health professionals.
Warmth, light and love at Peregrine House
Residential Care Home Facilities
Our aim is to care for our residents in the same way that we would look after the most loved member of our own family and this is how our residents can expect to be treated.
Our Phiosophy of Care
Dr Kevin and Teresa O’Sullivan and the team at Peregrine House have worked hard to earn our reputation as the leading care home in Whitby and the surrounding region.
