Our staff
At Ardtully Care Home, our team is the reason we can provide exceptional care. From our knowledgeable care manager to our dedicated care workers, every staff member commits to the highest standard of residential care.
Providing care requires skill and a deep sense of compassion and respect. That’s why we take a values-based approach to recruitment, carefully hand-picking individuals who share our commitment to person-centred care. Our team includes highly trained specialists in dementia and palliative care, ensuring we can meet the diverse needs of our residents with expertise and empathy.
Our private care home provides continuous training, regularly updating all staff on the latest care practices. Our carers receive regular training from the NHS and are fully qualified or actively studying for their NVQ in health and social care. This dedication to ongoing learning ensures we are always prepared to meet the evolving needs of our residents, offering them the best possible care in a warm and supportive environment.
Lifestyle and Well-Being
At Ardtully Residential Care Home, we have a dedicated Lifestyle and Well-being coordinator who provides various activities, keeping our residents connected and engaged. Our residents enjoy a full weekly schedule, including regular outings to local cafes, churches and other Essex attractions. Our mini-bus is available for daily off-site activities, allowing residents to explore the area and become familiar faces in the local community.
Within the home, your relative can enjoy our sensory area, unwind in the hair salon or take a relaxing walk in our beautiful, mobility-friendly garden. Residents with dementia are never separated from the rest of the home and are included in all activities. However, we do have activities and games designed for those with dementia and other cognitive issues, such as games with large fonts and a helpful interaction board.
Every activity at Ardtully promotes overall well-being while building a strong sense of community among residents. Browse our Magic Moments to see the beautiful experiences our residents have made over the years.
Schedules and structure
A consistent routine is vital, especially for residents living with dementia. Our experienced carers provide the right balance of support and independence, assisting with daily tasks like washing, dressing, medication and meal times — always treating our residents with dignity and respect.
Our close-knit team with a very low staff turnover ensure that familiar faces guide our residents through their day in a kind and reassuring manner. We encourage residents to stay engaged and independent by using notebooks and to-do lists to help them keep track of their day.
Feedback is essential to us at Ardtully. Our private care home has regular meetings where residents can voice their opinions, suggest new activities or influence the daily menu. Doing this ensures their routines and schedules are personalised to their wishes, needs and preferences.
