The Care Quality Commission is an independent health and adult social care regulator in England, ensuring care homes provide their residents with safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care.
Our compassionate care staff
The report highlights the effectiveness of our staff and their ability to deliver a good level of care. Our residents, their loved ones and other healthcare professionals also praised our approach, particularly in regard to our end of life care. We believe that building a relationship with each of our residents helps us provide better care and day-to-day living, improving the quality of life and overall happiness of our residents. Our staff, which include registered nurses and professional care assistants, are given regular training to ensure they continue to provide the very best help and support to our residents in all aspects of their lives.
A care home that goes the extra mile
We were also shown to have ‘routinely gone the extra mile’ to get to know our residents and their hobbies and, where possible, to include them in our extensive range of activities on offer. Indeed, at Allenbrook we pride ourselves on the activities and entertainment we make available to our residents as we firmly believe an active body and mind keeps us happy and healthy. Some of the activities we offer include cinema nights, music sessions, arts and crafts, sing-a-longs, planting flowers in our beautiful garden and day trips to the coast.
