Message from the Manager
Andy says his ethos is fairly straightforward, to make every resident and their loved ones feel they are receiving the best possible care, and couldn’t live anywhere better. This may sound quite a challenge, but it’s one Andy accepts with gusto! “It’s always about good communication and teamwork”, says Andy, “making sure every member of staff knows the residents really well, so everyone feels they are amongst friends. It’s also really important that the staff how much they are valued, both by the home management team, their colleagues and the company as a whole”. Andy feels that getting the views of the residents is invaluable, and tries to see every resident, every day, so he knows everyone is happy and comfortable. He is always delighted to speak to family members, especially if they have any ideas on how to improve the residents’ lives in any way. “It’s a team effort, and the families and friends know them really well, so they tend to give us ideas which we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of”. – Andy Kirby, Oak Lodge Manager.
