Why We are Different
As an organisation, we have clear values and ideals, but what really matters is how they improve our clients’ lives on a day to day basis. It’s mine and my team’s job to make sure this happens.
Below is a comparison of what sets us apart from typical larger care facilities.
Our Boutique Care
- Small enough for everyone to know each other well, and to feel at home.
- Low turnover of locally recruited staff who are culturally in tune with our clients, and know them and the area well.
- Founder-employee owned with unrelenting focus on quality.
- Sufficient well-motivated staff on duty to meet all clients’ care and social needs.
- Social activities built around clients’ individual needs, including regularly leaving the home to go shopping, enjoy a drive, themed visits etc.
- A focus on health and exercise as part of. our everyday routines.
- Discreet care with external nursing support.
Typical Larger Facilities
- Thirty-plus clients with widely-varying needs, and little compatibility.
- High turnover of staff, often recruited from abroad, make communications and building relationships difficult.
- Typically corporate owned with unrelenting focus on profits.
- Seldom sufficient staff on duty leading to corners being cut.
- Care interventnions take priority over social activities which seldom get clients out of the home.
- Occasional focus on exercise.
- More institutional approach to care.
