These personal prints filled with the best care for our residents ADVERTISING FEATURE Describing Woodl<strong>and</strong>s House <strong>and</strong> it’s facilities almost sounds as if one was describing a hotel... For example the beautiful individual rooms, designer bathrooms, Wi-Fi, HD TV, telephones, spacious gardens, etc. Today’s concerns though are probably a little different... With Covid19 we are especially under pressure, to provide not only the best care for our residents, but also supporting families trusting us with their loved ones. At Woodl<strong>and</strong>s our absolute top priority is the correct use of PPE, <strong>and</strong> staff restricting their own private lives to protect our residents. We realise that the responsibility of making such a life changing choice on behalf of a loved one is the hardest decision we may ever have to make. Finding the type of care available is daunting in itself. Do you want a new large modern home with all the “facilities” like Wi-Fi <strong>and</strong> a garden maze or do you want the home that offers the nearest possible “feel” to a home? Do you want familiar caring staff, many who have been at Woodl<strong>and</strong>s for years <strong>and</strong> years with the maximum experience <strong>and</strong> ongoing training <strong>and</strong> a Manager who is in daily contact with both residents <strong>and</strong> staff? Do you want to see every certificate for every course <strong>and</strong> pictures of member of staff because there are so many, or do you want to be greeted by the same team week in week out when you CAN visit? If so you may not be able to visit just now, but a friendly chat or video call with me may enable you to feel the homely atmosphere for yourself <strong>and</strong> give you the confidence <strong>and</strong> support you need.
