Questionnaire

Thank you to everyone who returned their questionnaire your feedback enables us to develop the service and improve your relative’s lives. Copies of the questionnaire results are in the conservatory. Once again thank you I will keep you up to date as we improve the service.

Redecoration

We hope we have not caused too much inconvenience while we have been decorating the home while you have been visiting. Recently the small lounge near Blue unit was re painted. Nearly all the toilets and bathrooms have been updated and we hope to have completed all the remaining bathrooms and toilets by the end of November.

The main dining room and the family room will be redecorated   shortly. In the New Year we will focus on the corridors being repainted as some of the corridors are looking tired.

Birthday Celebrations

Bryan Press, Joan Hughes, Jean Garcia, Doreen Potter, Ada Bennett, Joan Wright, Ellen Jasper , Dorothy Clarke, Margaret Hughes, Val Williams and Tom Woods.

Family Room

We have a family room that visitors are able to use if they wish for more privacy or if they wish to book the room for small family gatherings to celebrate events with their relative. There is no charge for the room we just need to know in advance so the room can be booked. Please speak to Pauline or a senior member of staff.

Clothing

We have a large number of clothing that is almost new sadly the clothing is not marked with anyone’s name on. We would greatly appreciate   it if you would speak to staff that would willingly show you the items as they may be long to your relative.

Hospital Appointments

Unfortunately we are unable to release staff to attend planned medical appointments, we appreciate this may cause you some difficulties but we have to consider the welfare of the remaining residents who live in the home.

Managers Surgery

I hold a managers surgery every 3 months the purpose of the day is for relatives  to book a time of their choosing to meet with me to discuss their relatives plan of care. If you are unable to attend the meeting please contact Joan to re arrange a more convenient time that suits you.

Carers Group

We hold a carers group every 3 months the meeting focus on what is happening in the home, this will include staff training, new policies and any concerns you may wish to discuss. There is also an opportunity for you to meet other relatives. A notice goes up in the conservatory 1 week before the meeting and we will  email relatives who have agreed to be contacted.
