Home manager Repeka Taukei said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be awarded the national Gold Standards Framework for the excellent end of life care we provide to residents at West Cliff Hall. I love leading and inspiring the team to ensure our residents live their lives in the way they wish and I’m very proud of how caring and compassionate our team are; they play a huge part in delivering high quality care and support to our residents throughout their time with us.”
Julie Armstrong-Wilson, chief operating officer for Gold Standards Framework, commented: “Congratulations to all the organisations who have successfully achieved accreditation and received the Quality Hallmark Award this year. The standard of care and compassionate cultures that have been observed is truly inspiring, showing a commitment to ensuring people receive the right care at the right time which has a positive impact on the people cared for and their families. Listening to what matters most to each and every individual and providing care in accordance with their goals, wishes and preferences is the Gold Standard and these organisations are delivering it. The GSF team are so very proud of all our Award Winners; with our ageing population it is so important we enable them to live well and when the time comes deliver quality care in their final year / days of life. A huge well done to you all!”
