Our Staff and Training

We encourage training and personal growth

The Home is owned by Carl Denis and Lesley King and has been in family ownership since its inception in 1981. The Registered Manager is MrGary Foley, with Kate Bulera as deputy manager.

Continual training in the Home ensures we develop and maintain good practice, as we strive to improve our service and meet new challenges. Providing personal care to a high standard involves a range of disciplines and the personal development of each member of staff promotes job satisfaction. Three quarters of the care staff hold a level 2 qualification in Health and Social Care and almost a third to level 3.

Online and regular face to face training from accredited providers ensures all staff are competent to care. Regular opportunities for supervision and feed back from residents allows us to tailor training accordingly.

Gold Standard Framework and Fundraising events

Our training has led to us achieving the Platinum award under the Gold Standards Framework for End of Life Care in Care Homes in 2017. We are aiming for re-accreditation this year.

Staff regularly help with fund raising activities in their own time for national charities and we regularly raise important sums for the East Anglian Childrens Hospice and Macmillan Nurses. Staff also assist with outings and shopping trips into town. Our staff pantomime written has delighted and entertained audiences every Christmas for the past forty years.
