You are welcome to visit or call at any time for viewing or advice. Visit us for an informal chat, whether you are a prospective Resident or family member, about care needs, funding or general information about what it means to enter a Care community. Aim To create at Broomy Hill an environment in which both Residents and staff encounter a sense of community and ownership. That the standards of care and humanness are reflected in the atmosphere and willingness for each to support the other – irrespective of status. Key Objectives To provide a quality of care underpinned by knowledge and sensory awareness of the Residents’ needs and wants – and to be able to distinguish between the two. To encourage a climate of openness i.e. discuss issues in an open and frank manner, respecting the dignity and rights of the individual. To refrain from undermining the rights and feelings of Residents and colleagues thereby creating an environment of friendship, trust and openness. To make ourselves available to residents, their friends, family, staff and support agencies, dealing with them swiftly, with confidence and dignity. |
