Leaholme Residential Home receives another 'Good' CQC rating!

The exceptional management team and staff from Leaholme Residential Home in Stoneygate, Leicester were thrilled to receive the results of their latest CQC report, which rated the service as being ‘Good’ across all areas.

Maintaining, and even improving upon standards since its last inspection Leaholme Residential Home’s clean, safe and supportive environment, commitment to residents’ needs, promotion of dignity and independence, and dedication to person-centred care were all highlighted as positives. The report also recognised the home’s motivated staff members and tasty, nutritious meals. The report was published on Wednesday 20^th March 2019, and identified areas where Leaholme Residential Home fulfilled expectations. Key areas highlighted included risk assessment and management, staffing and recruitment, safeguarding, and the ability to assess and fulfil people’s needs and choices.

Registered Home Manager Sophia Francis was understandably thrilled:

“I have every confidence in my team and the atmosphere we’ve created and maintain at Leaholme Residential Home, but it’s wonderful to have our hard work recognised by CQC. The report confirmed that our residents feel safe, happy and well looked after, and that our staff know them very well. Staff members are confident in their own abilities, and feel supported by the management team. We are all so pleased to have our high standards officially recognised. Our home is going from strength to strength, and is already so popular. I have a lot planned for our home, we will continue making Leaholme the best place to be.”

Vicki Weller is the Managing Director of Your Health Limited, which manages Leaholme Residential Home. She says:

“We were thrilled to receive the results of the inspection, and to have those findings published for all to see. Sophia and her team work so, so hard to maintain the standards at Leaholme Residential Home, which is evident from the findings of the report. The level of care at the home has been rated as ‘Good’ in all areas. The service has officially been recognised as safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, from the cleanliness of the home and individual rooms, to the nutritional value of meals and beyond. I am sure Sophia has even more up her sleeve for the home this year, and look forward to following their continued progress. The home is truly person-centred; everything is tailored to people’s individual needs and preferences. It’s a wonderful thing to be a part of.”

Christmas Cards of Kindness

If you follow our Postcards of Kindness project on Facebook you'll know we recently partnered with thortful.com cards to raise money for Dementia Adventure via a very special collection of postcards. Detailed below, the concepts for the cards were developed by members of the charity's special interest group, each one living with a form of dementia, and brought to life by members of thortful's community of creators. The idea is very simple; via the thortful app anyone will be able to choose a postcard and send Christmas wishes and memories to any of our 1,000+ care homes registered with Postcards of Kindness. 100% of the profits from each card's sale will go to Dementia Adventure, a charity that promotes, organises and funds outdoor adventures for those living with dementia. The hope is that each card will trigger nostalgia or inspire a conversation, to let care home residents know they're not alone this Christmas - a priceless outcome for just 99p. The cards can ...

Postcards Of Kindness Spreading Joy This Summer

Your postcards are making a real difference this summer, and beyond... Last year our care group launched the Postcards of Kindness appeal, which asked members of our homes' local communities to send postcards from wherever in the world they'd been on holiday. While we knew that some individuals were likely to receive cards from their own relatives we wanted to include everybody at each home; we wanted to ensure that no resident was left out, and make every adventure accessible to all. The response to our appeal was phenomenal, and thousands of cards from all around the world were received in a very short space of time. Not only did our homes receive postcards from friends, relatives and neighbours, but cards also came from people living on the other side of the world and everywhere in between. The senders were keen to share details of their hometowns and holidays, and inspire happy memories for our residents to share with staff members. Our campaign hoped to alleviate ...

Summer Fields Resident Honoured for Service During WW2

The best part of working so closely with residents is hearing their stories first hand. We love when residents engage with our staff members and tell them snippets, however small or seemingly irrelevant, of things that happened long ago. Those unlocked memories aid reminiscence therapy and help us to get to know our residents much better, as well as providing countless opportunities for meaningful conversations. Every now and again we hear something that's too special to keep to ourselves, and with the permission of resident John and his family we'd like to share his story... John lives in Summer Fields Care Home in the Wirral. During the Second World War he served as a sapper with the Royal Engineers 11th Armoured (Taurus) Division, and was present at the D-Day Landings. He has spoken of landing on Juno Beach, and of his time building bridges that the Germans often destroyed. Staff members have been enthralled by his stories, and the additional facts that his family has...
