A CARING TRADITION For over a century this building has been home for a great many men of all ages, including those who fought in world wars. Whilst times have changed, along with the residents and staff, the tradition of care and support remains as a tribute to philanthropy at its very best. MODERN TIMES The Home is now a dual registered Nursing/Residential facility providing continuing care, Respite and Rehabilitation. The building itself is listed as being of considerable architectural merit, but time and changing needs inevitably produce demands to meet more modern standards. In 1984 the centenary Appeal raised over a quarter of a million pounds to undertake vital work to the fabric of the building, as well as essential internal improvements to enhance the quality of life for residents. Along with a skilled and professional work force, the Turner Home, which is a registered charity, is administered by the Trustee Directors and a Management Committee. For all involved in it's day-to day affairs, the commitment for the care of residents remains paramount. A CARING APPROACH The Turner Home provides accommodation with specialist care and support for men of all ages. Individual disabilities are varied, but each resident is assured of a personal approach to his particular needs and preferences. The founder's aim to help, "chronically sick, disabled and elderly" is interpreted today in as broad a manner as possible. Referrals come from various sources, including health and social services practitioners, as well as families acting on behalf of a relative. Initial assessment is undertaken by staff in partnership with other professionals, relatives and, of course the prospective residents themselves. THE ERIC FISCHER WING In 1993 a further appeal was launched to raise funds towards the new extension, comprising 44 individual bedrooms with en-suite facilities. THE IAN TOD WING A rehabilitation unit, with lounge, and another six bedrooms, again with en-suite facilities, was completed during the year 2000. In total a number of 59 rooms.
VOLUNTARY PARTNERSHIP The League of Friends of the Turner Home provides a much appreciated financial contribution to the life of the Home, especially during the innumerable fundraising activities that occur, staff and volunteers join forces to raise money. All Care Staff within the Home will be appropriately qualified to deliver the highest standards of care. A continuous staff-training program is implemented to ensure that these high standards are maintained in line with the latest developments in Care Practices as maybe laid down in appropriate Legislation, Regulations and the National Care Standards Commission. Cares will strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all Service Users within a warm and caring atmosphere, and in so doing will be sensitive to the Service Users ever changing needs. Such needs may be medical/therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and Service Users are encouraged to participate in the development of their individualised Care Plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and is greatly valued. GP The Home has its GP that visits on a weekly basis, as well as hairdressing, an optician service, chiropody and dental care also provided. TRAINING The training of staff is an ongoing process and all staff are encouraged to gain NVQ qualifications in - house, as well as at local training centers. A qualified nurse assesses those staff gaining qualifications in NVQ care.
