DESCRIPTION

Florence Grogan House is a large, purpose-built home providing residential care and a specialist household for dementia care. The home has a long history and is a well established part of the local community. At Florence Grogan House we aspire to ensure that the home is a place where people want to live and work. We have an abundance of budgies, two adorable cats and many entertaining squirrels. As a team we strive to engage with residents and support them in all aspects of their daily lives. In seeking to do this we have a well motivated and well trained team of carers who understand that choice, courtesy and dignity are essential ingredients for a successful caring environment.

THE CARE

For all residents, detailed care plans are developed in conjunction with the resident and in many cases their family. Plans are based on a recognised model of care and have been developed by registered nurses and professionals both within CLS and from external agencies.

Care plans are reviewed at least once a month and include an assessment of residents’ needs, details of what support is needed from other professionals, risk assessments over a number of areas and a number of other aspects that impact on a resident’s care.

The care plans are also designed to make it simple for you to access a clear and accurate history of care and activities provided should you need or wish to.

All CLS homes are staffed by a dedicated and professionally trained workforce. CLS operates a nationally approved training scheme that is unrivalled in the care sector, and is an accredited Investor in People. Every year, around a hundred employees achieve NVQs and specialist training as part of their personal development plans.
