Continuity of care
We strive to create a working environment which encourages staff to stay with us. Doing so help us to build relationships with our residents, getting to know them well and ensuring continuity of care. Residents are comforted by seeing familiar faces, while staff get to know residents well enough to deliver unrivalled high-quality care based on the needs, preferences and desires of every resident.
Some very caring staff, some exceptional, that is the most important criteria.
The food is good and the entertainment shown by one member of staff in particular to the residents is amazing. A most kind and caring person.
A homely place, that I can feel confident that my Mother receives basic good
care, and most often well above basic needs.Love the fact that visiting dogs are welcome in the home, as this gives my Mother enormous pleasure to hug her Labrador, and also see other visiting pets.

Digital care planning
Using digital technology helps to improve quality, efficiency and patient care
Robust and up to date care plans are central to ensuring that the residents at Broadmead Residential Home receive care appropriate to their needs. Our digital care planning system allows us to access and update all care plans on a handheld device or PC, offering increased accountability, improved reporting and far higher efficiency than paper-based records. This increased efficiency frees up time for us to do what we do best, which is to spend quality time with our residents.
Multi-disciplinary care
