Handling medical emergencies in care homes is a critical part of ensuring the safety and well-being of residents. Our care home has a specific protocol in place for handling medical emergencies.

Firstly, all our staff members are trained in basic first aid, CPR, and how to handle different medical emergencies. In the event of a medical emergency, staff members are trained to assess the situation quickly, call for additional support if needed, and provide basic first aid to the resident until medical professionals arrive.

We have a system in place for contacting emergency medical services, and our staff members are trained to follow specific procedures when calling for assistance. Our staff members will also communicate with the resident's family members and provide regular updates on the situation.

We also have clear documentation procedures in place to ensure that all medical emergencies are recorded and reported appropriately.

In addition to our emergency protocols, we work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure that our residents receive the best possible medical care. We have regular assessments of residents' health and medical needs, and we have a close working relationship with local healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, and paramedics.

We have a pet policy in place in our care homes, which allows pets to be accepted subject to assessment and the approval of the home manager. A comprehensive risk assessment must be carried out before bringing a pet into the care home. There are several things families should consider before bringing their pets, such as ensuring that the pets are fully vaccinated and keeping the appropriate veterinary certificates in a safe place within the home. Pets must also be treated with a broad-spectrum helminthicide every three months if applicable and kept in good health. In the event that a pet becomes ill, it must be excluded from resident contact, and veterinary advice should be sought. Regular grooming and checking for signs of infection are also necessary. After feeding, pets should be provided with designated stainless steel or earthenware bowls and fed in designated areas only. These bowls should then be removed, washed, and stored dry. Pets are not allowed into food preparation or consumption areas, clinical rooms (such as treatment rooms or sluice rooms), or the laundry room. Lastly, pets must not visit residents who are ill with diarrhoea and vomiting.

Visiting guidelines and restrictions may vary depending on the current situation, such as the prevalence of infectious diseases or the recommendations of local health authorities. However, in general, we do operate in line with current government guidelines and we have certain visiting guidelines in place in our care homes to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, visitors, and staff if there are outbreaks. 

Some guidelines may include:

Pre-booking Visits: Visitors may be required to pre-book their visits in advance to ensure that the number of visitors in the care home is managed effectively and to allow us to carry out any necessary screening procedures.Screening Procedures: Visitors may be required to undergo a health screening, which may include temperature checks, health questionnaires, and other assessments to ensure that they are not displaying any symptoms of infectious diseases.Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Visitors may be required to wear appropriate PPE, such as masks, gloves, and gowns, to minimise the risk of infection transmission to our residents, staff, and other visitors.Limited Visiting Times: Visiting times may be limited to specific times of the day to reduce the number of visitors in the care home at any one time.Social Distancing Measures: Visitors may be required to adhere to social distancing measures, such as maintaining a safe distance from other visitors and staff members, to minimise the risk of infection transmission.

Staff Training: We provide regular training to our staff to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure the safety and security of our residents. This includes training on emergency procedures, safeguarding, and risk assessment.

Risk Assessment: We conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards and implement measures to mitigate the risks. This includes ensuring that all areas of the care home are free from hazards, such as tripping hazards, and that residents with specific needs, such as those prone to falls, are provided with additional support and equipment to prevent accidents.

Security Measures: We have implemented various security measures to ensure the safety of our residents. This includes the installation of CCTV cameras, secure entry systems, and other safety devices to prevent unauthorised access to the care home.

Personalised Care: We provide personalised care plans for each of our residents, taking into account their individual needs, medical conditions, and any specific requirements related to their safety and security. This includes providing specialist equipment, such as bed rails, alarms, and other safety devices, to ensure their safety and security at all times. We use the best tool outhere, Person Centred Software and we always look at implementing better tools and we have successfully done by using DepenSys, Atlas and CareAudit.

Communication: We maintain regular communication with our residents and their families to ensure that any concerns or issues related to safety and security are addressed promptly. We encourage an open dialogue to ensure that all parties are aware of any potential risks and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent them.

As a general rule, care homes have traditionally catered to individuals over the age of 65. However, due to changes in the care landscape over the past few years, there has been an increasing trend towards accommodating younger individuals. In our care homes, we have adapted to this trend by offering support to individuals under the age of 65, subject to an assessment of their needs.

However, we do not support individuals under the age of 50, as we believe that doing so may be detrimental from a social standpoint, and our services may not be able to meet their needs effectively. It is important to note that any decision to accommodate younger individuals is made on a case-by-case basis, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all of our residents receive the best possible care and support.

To ensure that we have adequate staffing levels to meet the needs of our residents, we use a tool called DepenSys. This is a state-of-the-art dependency tool that helps home managers calculate the optimal staff ratio required to meet the needs of our residents. The tool takes into account various factors such as the level of dependency of the residents and the number of residents in our care homes. As the needs of our residents may fluctuate over time, we regularly use this tool to assess and adjust our staffing levels to ensure that we are providing the highest quality of care possible.

The daily routine for residents in a care home may vary depending on the individual's needs and preferences, as well as the policies and practices of the specific facility. However, here is a general outline of what a typical daily routine in a care home might look like:

Breakfast: Residents usually have breakfast in a communal dining area at a scheduled time.Personal care: After breakfast or before, residents may receive assistance with personal care activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.

Activities: Throughout the day, residents may participate in a range of activities such as exercise classes, arts and crafts, games, or social events.Meals: Lunch and dinner are usually served at scheduled times in a communal dining area.

Rest and relaxation: Residents may have downtime during the day to rest or engage in quiet activities.Personal time: Residents may have free time to pursue individual interests such as reading, watching TV, or chatting with other residents.

Bedtime: In the evening, residents may receive assistance with personal care activities and then retire to their rooms for the night.

Our care homes can provide residents with a furnished or unfurnished room if they wish to bring their own, meals, housekeeping and laundry services. Residents can have access to on-site facilities such as hair salons, cafes and gardens as well as opportunities to use amenities in the local community. Residents can expect to have regular social activities organised for them and day trips out into the community. Regular visits from entertainers, reminiscence experts, GPs, dentists, physiotherapists and other providers can be arranged.
