About
At Hatt House we pride ourselves on how passionate we are about dementia care and are constantly working to improve the lives of residents living with dementia and their families.
We have a dementia champion in our home and our specially trained team is integral to creating meaningful, enjoyable days in the lives of our residents with dementia.
Our ‘SEE ME’ approach to dementia care ensures that every resident is looked upon as a unique individual, with their own past and their own future. We work closely with families and advocates to build a real picture of the person we are looking after and ensure that each part of the history we learn about our residents, helps us build a care and support plan that reflects all of who they are and want to be.
Professional and Highly Trained Staff
The Home has a highly dedicated team of friendly and professional carers, catering and household staff, all of whom are trained within their specialities. Specialist training is given on End of Life Care, Dementia, First aid and Moving and Handling as well as regular mandatory training provided by a highly qualified trainer and Registered Nurse, ensuring compliance and competence to the highest standards.
The Home is led by home manager Stuart Archer who has a wealth of experience in running care homes for over 12 years as well as working in care for over 30 years. Stuart has his Level 5 in Management in Health and Social Care alongside being a qualified PTTLS tutor. He is supported by his Deputy Manager Marilen and in house Head of Care. Stuart and his team are further supported by the Area Manager Julian Webb, who is responsible for the operational aspects of the home. Both of which are supported fully by the Director Rebecca Marks who frequently visits the home.
Hatt House works very closely with the resident’s families GP’s, District Nursing team, Social Workers, chiropody, dentist, opticians, physiotherapists and all other professionals involved in a resident’s care.
Quality of Life
Many of our residents require a high level of care and support and we cater for all stages of dementia as the condition progresses. In order to achieve this we have a good staff provision with staff who are trained and have empathy and passion for our residents. Many of our residents are from differing backgrounds therefore a full life history profile is carried out prior to admission which enables us to apply a person centred approach as well as being able to share and enjoy their many experiences of life. We see Hatt House as being synonymous to excellent care and support never losing sight that our residents are centre to all that we do.
