In Bloom

A splash of color,
a twist of green,
petals smiling,
fresh and bright.

Hands arrange
what the heart already knows—
simple beauty
feels just right.

A recent review, wish we are so grateful for such lovely feedback

Reviewer's Comment: We were very impressed by the standard of care provision, going beyond very good basic care, extending to pastoral care and daily activities to suit an elderly Christian. Support is also provided to resident's families through meetings provided by management and 'The way we care' team, and reception staff are very friendly. Cleanliness was excellent and the building facilities are fantastic being newly purpose-built, with wonderful shared activity spaces for activities including church services. We liked the layout of the four households, each with its own lounge/dining area, with a homely arrangement of furniture, rather than a care home feel. Care itself was of a very good standard, we were never once concerned that it was lacking, and when our aunt became immobile, extra provision of special chair and mattress etc was provided, and we always felt the care team were approachable. In her last weeks, both care and pastoral support were excellent. It was everything we wished for.

At Middlefields we have household living, this allows up to prompt independence and enable our family members to be able to still do what they can for themselves.

This can help self worth, and improve mental well being in our family members.

Our electronic care plan system helps us deliver safer, more personalised care. It gives staff instant access to up-to-date care plans, risk assessments, medication information, and notes, which reduces paperwork and the risk of errors. Because everything is recorded in real time, important information isn’t delayed or missed, and care can be better coordinated across the team.

As part of this system, you may see our staff using mobile devices. These are work devices, not personal phones. They are used to check care plans, record care as it’s provided, and communicate important updates securely. This allows staff to spend more time with the people they support, rather than returning to an office to complete paperwork.

Can you believe the size of this squash 🤭 Rachel was very pleased to receive this as a donation to cook and roast down to serve to the family members.

I think we should hold a vegetable growing competition!
