There has been good news for the Red Homes Healthcare group this month, following a recent inspection from Nottinghamshire County Council at Red Rose Care Community.
Inspectors from the local authority visited Red Rose, based in Farndon, Newark, and were very impressed with what they saw. So impressed, in fact, that they have given Red Rose the highest rating possible, a Band 5. This is a major improvement, as the last inspection saw a Band 4 rating awarded to Red Rose.
The inspectors arrived at Red Rose in February for the visit – and they liked what they saw. Among the comments made by the local authority were that the “care plans were excellent, they included considerations of residents’ preferences regarding care, support and treatment”.
Regarding the standard of care provided by staff, the report found “staff we spoke with to be committed to provided high quality care”, while observing “very positive and caring relationships between residents and staff”. When it came to infection control procedures, too, Red Rose scored an “excellent” rating, with the report stating, “throughout our visit, staff were seen to be following good practice guidelines regarding PPE”.
This is outstanding feedback for Red Rose to receive, and Diane Watson, Registered General Manager at Red Rose Care Community, is very happy to have scored the highest possible rating.
Diane said:
“We are delighted to have received such a positive report from Nottinghamshire County Council after our recent inspection.
“It is a testament to our incredibly hard-working team at Red Rose, that we have received a Band 5 rating. They have worked relentlessly to ensure our residents are looked after as well as they possibly can be.
We are very proud of every member of staff here, and this report is a wonderful boost to all during these difficult times.”
The Red Rose home is a special community and can be typified by the three different areas that form it. Farndon Walk supports residents living with dementia, Poplar View provides palliative care, while Brockton Court looks after residents who have needs associated with growing older. It means that the dedicated staff at Red Rose can help provide the right levels of service and support for the residents, depending upon their individual needs.
