DESCRIPTION

The Elms is a purpose-built home in the Coppenhall area, approximately one mile from Crewe town centre. The home has a main dining area, several lounges of different sizes and a conservatory area. There is a designated smoking lounge for anyone who wishes to smoke. The home is staffed by a friendly team who promote a family atmosphere. Personal development and knowledge is also promoted, with the team achieving or working towards NVQs in care, and taking part in training programmes to enhance the level of care within the home. Residents are encouraged to have a say in home life through regular meetings.

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.
