Care Homes Owned by Oldercare Group of Companies in Hampshire

Improvements are progressively being made.
A team of activities workers is now in place.
Staff are being augmented across the disciplines and additional food items introduced, for example apples.
A restructuring has been effected meaning that staff and operational management now work routinely across the four active ward areas ensuring experience in different client groups and less opportunity for stagnation.
The early morning has been rationalized regarding potentially excessive consumption and this issue in general is a priority.
Nurses continue to relate to patients in an empathetic and assertive manner explaining the rationale behind decisions on care and medication.
A newly in post consultant liaises, daily in person with the wards and the Occupational Therapy lead is also widely proactive.

Increased staffing is accompanying increases in patients numbers and a staged redecorating programme is also underway. Patients have been asked to comment on food and other care provision.
