People at our centre

We have a very strong commitment to equality and diversity which stretches from the top to the bottom of
our organisation. Everyone who works for the company has a responsibility to ensure fair and equal treatment for all.

We practice rigorous policies and procedures that are designed to ensure no one person is treated any
more or less favourably than anyone else because of their age, gender, race, religion, colour, beliefs,
ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, physical characteristics or disability.

Scalford Court’s Registered Manager, Brenda Grant, has undertaken the Registered Managers Award
with many years of experience of elderly care.  Together with our Deputy Manager and experienced care
staff, catering team and domestic team they are committed to fulfilling the philosophy of the home.

We have considerable specialised equipment to care for the dependent residents who are less mobile including variable height beds and pressure relieving mattresses.  Various assisted bathing aides are available which can fully accommodate the physically disabled person.

Our Training and Development Officer, who in recent years has been employed by a training college being responsible for administrating NVQ's in the care industry, has developed our training matrix to an enviable situation. It covers all statutory training and beyond, including consultation with the Alzheimer’s Society, which in a short time will result in all our carers having received specialist training in the care of service users with Alzheimer’s/Dementia.

All new staff must undergo induction training. Their further training needs are quickly identified and set into progress, ongoing training needs are identified by staff themselves and ‘team leaders’ through working closely with staff and through regular appraisals.
