Admission

Prior to admission, a full assessment of needs is completed before the person comes to stay in our home. This, in turn, ensures that we are fully able to meet their individual needs and enables us to complete a fully comprehensive person-centred care plan. Each individual's needs continue to be assessed on an ongoing basis which in turn ensures that the right care is always provided.

We have a robust quality assurance programme in place in all of our homes which includes feedback from our residents, their families and also visiting professionals.

All surveys are analysed and feedback is given which in turn assists us to deliver the care experience they wish to receive.

We ensure our staff promote dignity, independence and choice at all times.

We have a Senior Management Team who visit our homes on a regular basis and monitor all aspects of health and safety, training, care delivery and all areas of care delivery.

The Care Quality Commission is the regulatory body in the UK, they conduct inspections and give our care homes quality ratings. The links to the latest regulators reports can be found on each individual care home page.
