Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is learning of the pressures faced by conscientious led Care Providers striving to offer a caring and safe environment to both service users and staff. Safety monitoring is proving to be a invaluable care assist tool - bringing a more open and transparent culture into care homes as well as saving valuable resources within the care home sector and the NHS
Care Campaign for the Vulnerable will be visiting care homes this coming month to meet with staff and relatives to talk over the need for safety monitoring in communal areas.
Through the successful Care Campaign Safety in Care initiative we work hard to rally support for a more open and transparent culture in care homes for both vulnerable residents and care staff. We will also have the opportunity to discuss the positives adopting safety monitoring will bring to care providers - already proving with many other care homes to save valuable resources as well as to the NHS.
Care Campaign for the Vulnerable works WITH the care sector to implement safer care standards and to address the concerns brought to us regarding unexplained injuries happening to our elderly - many unable to voice their concerns due to living with a cognitive impairment. Care staff tell us they can too can be treated unfairly when accused of wrong doing and therefore having safety monitoring in communal areas would identify good and poor care delivery.
We are delighted to be asked to visit HCONE Care Home in April and meet with residents and care staff enabling us all to have a open discussion answering questions as well as explaining the reasons for adopting safety monitoring in communal areas in all care homes. We applaud care providers who place the wanting of safety monitoring in the hands of those who really matter.
Glenholme House Care Home in Sunderland, part of the Wellburn Care Homes who supports our inititave - has already successfully piloted safety monitoring and now have it installed throughout.
"The evidence from Providers who have installed CCTV seems to me to merit careful attention and to be quite persuasive"
