At Applegarth Care Home, the safety and wellbeing of our residents is our highest priority. Our dedicated team receives comprehensive training, regular refresher training, and ongoing professional development in areas including safeguarding, infection prevention and control, moving and handling, medication management, first aid, and dementia care. We carry out regular risk assessments, medication audits, health and safety checks, and quality assurance reviews to ensure we consistently deliver safe, high-quality care. We maintain high standards of cleanliness throughout the home, work closely with healthcare professionals, and tailor care plans to each resident's individual needs. By investing in our staff and continually reviewing our practices, we provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where residents and their families can feel confident and reassured. |
