Staff at a Huddersfield care centre has secured a coveted award.
Botham Hall Care Centre, at Botham Hall Road, Milnsbridge, won a PEARL award – an internal award recognising a high standard of dementia care within Four Seasons Health Care.
The success follows a year-long programme of development and improvement, culminating in an unannounced inspection, which resulted in a silver award – which is considered extremely high for a first assessment.
Staff plan to go for gold in the new year.
Criteria include having interactive themed areas for residents to engage with, running a range of personalised activities, making sure all care plans are written in a person-centred way and ensuring all staff treat residents with an understanding of dementia and with the greatest of respect at all times.
