“I first started with Bernard Sunley in 2014 as an Administrator and soon progressed to Office Manager – these roles allowed me to build trust and relationships with staff, residents and their families. In early 2018 I was promoted to Home Manager and it is my vision to build a home that is fully integrated in its community and to expand on relationships with local services, groups and organisations to enhance the welfare and opportunities for our residents.
Bernard Sunley a welcoming, friendly home where residents and families are encouraged to engage in all aspects of the home from activities to discussions on what they would like to see happening at the home. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff and residents form great relationships built on trust and care.
Quite simply the best thing about my job is the people. We take the time to get to know each resident who lives with us – their likes, dislikes, the lives they have lived and the sort of life they would like to continue to live in our home. To see a family happy and at ease knowing their relative is well looked after and happy is a great reward. But perhaps the biggest reward is being allowed to share a smile, a story, a memory, with some of our residents and knowing that they are happy to give that time to me.”
All our care homes use technology such as electronic care planning and acoustic listening to keep our residents safe.
We have a devoted property team who work to keep our homes safe and secure.
We run a Dementia Education Programme in partnership with Worcester University, to ensure our staff know how to best support our residents living with dementia.
We provide regular training around Infection Prevention Control, and we are Covid Wise.
We are proud that many of our staff have worked with us for over 20 years, allowing us to provide consistent care teams to best support our residents.
