Awards, Accreditations and Training

Our Awards

We are incredibly proud to have made so many achievements in regional and national award schemes. These awards are a testament to the hard work of each and every member of our team. You can read about our award achievements in more detail below, and on our News page:

Our Accreditations

As a group we are always looking to progress and improve the care we provide. Undertaking accreditations is a large part of this, allowing us to improve specific parts of our care.

Gold Standard Framework

Each of our Homes are currently undertaking the Gold Standard Framework accreditation. The Gold Standards Framework (GSF) is an evidence based systematic approach to formalising best practice through improving the organisation and coordination of care for all people with any condition in any setting in the final year or so of life.

The aims of GSF are to:

  • Improve the quality of care for all people nearing the end of life – in line with their preferences
  • Improve the coordination and collaboration of teams supporting them
  • Improve outcomes for people enabling more to live and die where they choose, reduced hospitalisation and improved cost-effectiveness.

The  Veteran Friendly Framework

Our homes are proud to be veteran friendly. You can read more about this accreditation on the next page.

Staff Training & Development

We are committed to developing our staff, whilst providing a high-quality environment for our residents.

On-going training

Every member of staff undertakes an on-going programme of training on an annual basis, covering all areas of health and safety, care support and understanding of our residents needs.

We work closely with a training partner to ensure this training is undertaken either online, in person, or through a practical session, as appropriate to the course content.

Health & Social Care Diploma

All of our care staff undertake the Health & Social Care Diploma, and we encourage all to continue through the different levels of qualification to further their development.
