The Management team are aware of the apprehension regarding both the Registered Manager and Deputy Manager going on maternity leave at the same time, we have tried to settle concerns by keeping family members and resident informed as much as possible by meetings and letters. A new replacement manager has already started induction with the current Manager, she has good knowledge of the homes policies and procedures as she previous worked as the Registered Manager here at Berry Pomeroy, we feel this is an asset rather than a negative. We hope this will provide continuity and reassurance for all those concerned.
