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

As someone who has always wanted to work in care or medicine, going to a care home was my first thought when told I needed to find a work experience placement. When Your Health Limited accepted me for the week, I was ecstatic. Yes, I couldn’t be based at a care home for the whole week, and that was slightly disappointing, but I could still experience what care was like, and get a look behind the scenes as well. The first care home I went to was Langwith Lodge, in Nottinghamshire. Not having been to many care homes beforehand, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to see, or what to expect. Would everyone just stay in their beds, eating, sleeping and never truly aware of the world? Whatever I expected, it didn’t come close to what I actually found. The residents were moving freely around the home, engaging in the different activities on offer, chatting with the carers and other residents. It was incredible; you’d almost never
