Our care home staff play a vital role in promoting the wellbeing of residents.  

At the heart of the wonderful care we provide at Friars Mead is our compassionate team of nurses, carers, managers and team leaders. And members of our wider support team such as catering and housekeeping.

Led by our amazing home manager Ricardo, all of our team members are carefully chosen for their values and unwavering dedication to caring for our residents with tenderness, kindness and respect. At Friars Mead, we nurture and invest in all our staff to ensure that they feel valued, happy, and love being part of our extended family.

Our compassionate approach extends to people looking for care for their loved one as well as to our residents’ families. Helping and supporting them through what can be a very emotional time.

We do our very best to:

• Ensure sufficient staff with a relevant mix of skills to meet residents’ needs.
• Provide, at all times, an appropriate number of staff with qualifications in health and social care.
• Respect equal opportunities and protect residents’ safety and welfare.
• Monitor the performance of all staff and volunteers. And ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to deliver high quality, person-centric care.
• Offer a range of training and development opportunities to maximise the potential of each employee.
• Administer first aid to deal with initial emergencies before we call external support services.
• Train senior staff in diagnostic care and awareness.

The Management ensure that all staff receive appropriate training to recognised standards.

The staff recognise the need for good communication with residents, families and visitors.
