Meet The Manager
Tammy Maidment is Registered Manager at Waterloo Care Home.
Our staff are kind, professional and compassionate – the love and care they have for all our residents is evident. It’s a really rewarding place to work.
My aim is to run a happy home where people feel safe and as healthy as possible, and for staff to feel part of a family group. I hope families feel like they’re visiting their relative’s home, rather than a care home.
Waterloo Care Home is a real home for life near the lovely market town of Wimborne, in Dorset. We provide affordable residential, dementia and respite care. We’re very lucky to have a lovely three-acre garden, with a backdrop of trees beyond. It’s enclosed and safe and there’s plenty of space to sit out on the patio, or to do a bit of gardening.

| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

|
We have 36 single bedrooms here at Waterloo, across the ground floor and the first floor. Our first floor is fully accessible, by stairs or lift. All our rooms have en-suites or washbasins in the room. Those without en-suites have accessible bathrooms nearby. A handful of our first-floor rooms have balconies, with private outside space, with space for a seating area, pots and a birdfeeder. Some of the ground-floor bedrooms have patio doors which open out onto the garden too. We encourage our residents to bring personal items with them to make their space more homely. It is also a great chance for our staff to learn more about each resident and engage with them about their likes, dislikes, hobbies, life experiences and relatives. Every bedroom’s front door is a different colour and style. A different number, door knocker and letterbox makes each room more recognisable and personal to the individual. |
