Staff

Our team of registered nurses and carers have been carefully selected not only for their professional skills, but also because of their caring attitude and their commitment to helping everyone in the home to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Our staffing ratio ensures the very best levels of individual attention can be offered at all times, day and night! A large proportion of our staff have seen service with the home for many years, indeed the Matron and Deputy Matron have both been with us since our opening in 1991.

Training is paramount and all staff go through our own rigorous induction program followed by the implementation of a personal training and development strategy to ensure that our high standards of care are always maintained.

We have qualified Health & Social Care Assessors, Moving and Handling Trainers, an Infection Control link nurse and Nurse Training Mentors all in house, with the majority of our care staff either holding or undergoing level 2 or 3 training.

A staff development and training file is on display at the front desk. This holds certificates awarded to our staff on completion of various courses attended and is updated regularly.

All our staff wear the homes uniform, either tunics and trousers or dresses. The tunics or dresses are colour coded to delineate grade/job role and to aid recognition by some of our more poorly sighted residents.

• Dark blue – Matron & Deputy
