NURSING AND CARE STAFF
Our staff are chosen carefully and receive full in-service and external training. There are two qualified moving and handling trainers and three NVQ assessors on site. 80% of the staff have obtained their NVQs while the other 20% have commenced their National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) training. The home is registered with the Alzheimer's Society and has a trainer within the home that trains the staff in a ten week course in Alzheimer's care (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow). All the staff are continually updated in care for the elderly to ensure the highest possible care for our residents. There is also a qualified nurse on duty 24 hours a day who will liaise with the other departments for the benefit of the individual resident.
