Skill Mix of Staff
In addition to this The Old Library runs a key worker system whereby every resident has a suitably qualified member of care staff allocated to him/her. This enables care staff to build quality and individual relationships with the person they key work.
Training
At The Old Library we believe that training and information are vital components in the running of the home and delivery of care. All staff take part in workshops that explore experiences of people with dementia and learn skills which improve communication. Our staff have a twelve week training period when they first start to comply with the Care Cerificate.
During this twelve week period, new members of the team shadow competent staff, also having to complete a number of mandatory training courses.
