Every resident has a care package put in place which includes a person centred plan of care, risk assessments, moving and handling assessments and mental health assessments. Residents will be assigned a qualified, experienced keyworker within one month of admission. We encourage relatives and Social Workers to have active input into each aspect of the unique plan of care. All Care Plans are reviewed by the Keyworker, resident and Management.
