Providing a centered approach which embraces ageing with energy, compassion and respect
Saxon Lodge Residential Care Home
Saxon Lodge strives to provide high quality care and ensures the needs of residents are met. The key aspect to achieving this, is the close and continuous involvement of residents, internal and external teams, family and friends of the residents. Our care home welcomes all individuals and achieves patient centered care by promoting independence and choice, decision making, respecting dignity, supporting and listening carefully, and offers excellent stimulating activities throughout the week. It is our responsibility to provide warmth and companionship to promote health and wellbeing, and help to overcome challenges including loneliness and boredom. We believe old age should be celebrated with continued learning, inclusiveness and enablement which are fundamental to achieving a meaningful life. These are key factors woven into each resident’s care plans.
Our staff are highly trained to provide a safe, comfortable and hospitable environment for all. We encourage staff to have an ethos of continuous learning which involves regular staff observations and supervisions, in addition to assigning up to National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ’S) to help further the growth of knowledge and for staff to reach their potential.
We place great importance on direct contact with patients, and that starts with how we train our staff. We never let theoretical concerns obscure the human at the heart of it all. Our staff regularly participates in seminars and courses to stay current with the latest developments in the field.
Our management team acknowledge that the correct working culture is crucial. Alongside shared purposes and visions, supporting and educating staff, motivating and understanding staff roles and utilising policies and researched frameworks this leads to more effective caring systems. In addition retaining creativity and energy to lead and nurture a team of people, who can familiarise and understand these goals and the concept of providing care for older people, will result in excellent care being provided to residents. All staff are placed on rolling training programmes and adhere to the principles of the Mental Capacity Act. Furthermore it is a requirement of managers to recognise good practice and challenge poor practice.
