Our Staff
Our Care Team Takes Time To Know The Individual
The sense of well-being of a person who has dementia is dramatically improved by the quality of the carers who care for them.
Our highly skilled care team are our greatest asset, not only are they well trained but they also take time to get to know and interact with the people they care for with dignity and respect.
It is our policy to encourage staff to improve their skills so that they become more confident and therefore more effective at their work.
All staff receive a full induction designed to familiarise them with the Home and its operating procedures. This includes a significant theory element designed to stimulate and improve overall awareness and the importance of promoting the rights of individuals as well as other sections that cover the practicalities of First Aid, Moving and Handling Skills and Basic Food Hygiene. We also provide specialist Dementia Awareness Training.
Care staff are encouraged to participate in the NVQ Level 2 training programme which is designed to increase their understanding of the issues surrounding the provision of care for the elderly. Opportunities exist to extend this training to NVQ level 3 and beyond if required.
