Thank you for your kind comment, we aim to continuously improve the service we offer. We are currently working with the activities coordinator to improve the range of activities offered in the Home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home and for the kind comments regarding our staff. We value all feedback as this helps us improve all our services. As the new Manager for Acacia Lodge, I pride myself on being available to Relatives, Residents and staff alike and have an open door policy where anyone can come and talk to me. Our Deputy Manager, who is a very experienced Nurse, is also available to discuss any relatives concerns. To ensure that all staff are aware of our Resident’s individual needs, I have introduced a more consistent communication process that includes a concise structured clinical handover (twice daily) that all staff participate in, daily meetings with all heads of department, daily clinical reviews and weekly clinical meetings. A schedule of monthly relatives meetings is being put in place, where the Deputy Manager and myself will be available to discuss queries or concerns either in a group setting or privately if required. We constantly strive to deliver the kindest of care and will continue to do this in every way we can.
Thank you for the very considerate comments you have made about how wonderful your experience is when both you and your Mother are visiting your Father. The staff really do appreciate such positive feedback and you can be assured they are really important to us as we strive to deliver the kindest of care. It is our aim to have a happy Home for both our Residents as well as for our staff.
They are sometimes understaffed which affects some quality.
Thank you for the very thoughtful comments about the excellent care your Nan is receiving and we are pleased to note she has settled in. Respecting her dignity and individuality is an important part of the kind care we strive to achieve all times. However we are sorry to note you feel the Home is understaffed at times – we do very occasionally experience a disruption of staffing levels due to sickness but these are not common – if anyone ever feels concerned about staffing levels we encourage them to raise this with the Manager immediately and their concern will be listened to.
Thank you for the kind comment relating to both your mother and more recently your father-in-law. We strive to offer the kindest possible care to all our Residents and keep staffing levels under constant review to ensure sufficient numbers are available for the needs of our clients. We actively encourage feedback with any particular concerns to us either directly to the management or through our regular relative meetings. We are grateful that you find the care at Acacia Lodge very good, our commitment is that you will always find this to be the case.
