Within Hillside View Care Home, we have 5 exercise classes a month, which focus on, strength, mobility, and falls prevention. Some residents are identified to attend for a specific reason, and others participate of their own volition. Residents are able to attend as many of these sessions as they wish.
Staffing within the care home, is of a higher ratio than in most other care homes, due to the dependency and needs of the residents and the Care Inspectorate Staffing notice. Monthly dependency levels are monitored, and this is used to inform the staffing levels within the care home.
Access to security codes for the elevator is limited, as this ensures that staff members know the whereabouts of residents, and reduces the risk of residents entering the elevator, and leaving the building, unaccompanied.
