CQC Rated — OUTSTANDING!!!
Goodman House has had its first CQC inspection and we are over the moon to announce we have been awarded ‘Outstanding’. It is extremely rare for a new service to achieve this at its first inspection and the report had to go through a stringent process including 7 separate panels to get this. Goodman House joins the top 4% of homes in the UK which have an Outstanding rating. To say we are delighted would be an understatement. Goodman House was a dream only three years ago—to have now achieved the highest rating possible with CQC is testament to the hard work put in by Kate, Carrie and the team at Goodman House. We are thrilled to say this now means all three of our registrations, Landermeads, Catherine Tam and Goodman House have the highest possible rating with CQC.
COVID Diaries - 2020
2020 has been a tough one for us all and at Landermeads it has been no exception. There have been times in the last year that we have felt afraid, challenged, devastated and tired. We were not spared and we have lost some of our family members at Landermeads before they were ready to go. We filmed these diaries to give staff the chance to voice how they felt.
Despite the tears what shines through is the passion and determination to put our family members at Landermeads first – they are truly a part of our family and the recurrent message is that we would do it all again. Part 4 is full of this heartfelt commitment.
A Christmas To Remember 2020
After a difficult year now is the time to celebrate the wonderful people we support and the incredible staff we work alongside. Follow this link to join us in celebrating social care across Nottingham. You will recognize familiar faces as staff from all areas have sent us snippets including many from the most important participants – those we support.
We have worked with Big Ian Donaghy to bring you A Christmas to Remember and, I think you’ll agree, he has definitely done us proud. Thank you Ian!
Happy Christmas!!
Nursing in Social Care
We believe that nursing in social care is a fantastic opportunity and a rewarding career. Landermeads and Wren Hall produced this Health Education England funded film to promote this nationally.
At Landermeads we believe that there is potential in our staff and encourage career progression through the ranks – we currently have 5 qualified Nursing Associates, a further 4 about to qualify in January and four just starting their training. They have become an integral part of our nursing team and work under the supervision of our excellent nursing team.
"We Are Family"
Showcases the value of Dementia Care Matters 'Feelings Matter Most' philosophy for people living with dementia, which recognises that people living with dementia are more 'feeling beings' than 'thinking beings'.
Filmed here at Landermeads, the film shows how the Butterfly household Model of Care identifies that quality dementia care is all about the beauty of the moment and sharing and celebrating life.
