“I have worked at Kirby Grange Care Home since June 2017, and before this I managed two other residential care homes within Leicester. I have 25 years of care experience working within residential homes and at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in my early days as a nursing assistant.
I have enjoyed making changes to our care home to improve the care and surroundings for staff and residents, and will continue to do this. My aim for Kirby Grange Care Home is to continue to improve our service and to maintain the great relationships we have with families and professionals who visit our home.”
“I have worked at Kirby Grange Care Home since December 2017. I started as a Senior Carer and worked my way up to Deputy Manager. As well as holding my NVQ Level 5 in Health and Social Care, I am a moving and handler trainer, fire marshal and sledge trainer within the home. I have enjoyed learning new things and completing my training with support from the team.
I have lots of experience within the social care sector including mental health, behaviours that challenge and young adults with complex needs. I would like to continue working at Kirby Grange Care Home and one day hit my goal of managing within our home.”
“I started at Kirby Grange Care Home as a Senior Carer and progressed to a Care Standards Coordinator. Whilst I was in the role I completed my NVQ Level 5 in Health and Social Care and I am also a moving and handler trainer. I am now part of the management team and am a Deputy Manager, alongside Maria.”
“With detailed input from residents, family and friends, our Senior Care Assistants develop and constantly review each resident’s care plan. The Senior Carers manage each shift and ensure that care is delivered correctly. They also are responsible for liaising with families, friends, and health service professionals.”
“I have worked at Kirby Grange for fourteen years as a chef. I love hearing suggestions from our residents and making meals they enjoy. I have my NVQ Levels 2 and 3 and keep up to date with training to keep my skills current.”
“I am new to the team at Kirby Grange Care Home and already feel a part of the home. I am excited to bring my knowledge and experience to the home to help keep improving the mealtime experience for our residents.”
“Our night-time Senior Care Assistants provide care and support to our residents throughout the night. At Kirby Grange Care Home, our carers are available 24 hours a day to provide exceptional quality care.”
“I have worked at Kirby Grange Care Home since 2012. I started as a domestic and worked my way up to head housekeeper. I enjoy working within the care industry and am proud of our team’s efforts and good outcomes through the tough times that COVID brought. I completed my NVQ whilst at Kirby Grange Care Home which gave me the confidence I needed to run my team.”
We have owned and operated care homes since 1997; our passion for delivering great care and our zero tolerance for anything else has only grown year on year.
Our strapline “Because we care” is very real and, as individuals and a family, we get personally very upset if we fail to deliver anything less than brilliant care.
I am personally legally and, I feel, morally responsible for each and every home and its residents. If I am not visiting a home, I am in daily contact with the managers and their teams. Our systems and processes are all geared to letting me and my directors know when things have not been done and providing information to enable us to constantly improve.
We never think “this is great and it’s good enough” – we always strive to do better.
I have been working in the business for nearly 15 years.
My job now is Operations Director supporting the managers and their staff teams to make sure that we maximise the overall wellbeing of each and every resident.
Unlike other homes, this is not just about making sure that there is no poor care, it is about instilling and maintaining a passion for excellence in everything we do. Part of my job is to ensure the smooth running of the homes with really fast purchasing so if a resident needs something it is in the home within hours, not days or weeks.
I am also responsible for the décor and maintenance of the homes and hopefully making sure they are homely and fulfil the wishes and aspirations of each individual resident and their relatives alike.
My role as Finance Director is to ensure the long term financial sustainability of the Care Home.
I am also responsible for Health & Safety, Data Protection and Information Technology. I regularly work from our Care Homes as it’s important to be hands-on, working with our teams to ensure that the necessities of regulation don’t detract from the demanding job of delivering great care.
Unlike many in the care industry, we are investing significantly in IT; we see it as an effective way of continually improving the quality of care and to continue to be more responsive to our resident’s and staff’ needs. Our systems tell us in real-time if things have not been done; Care is a 24/7 business and we work every hour necessary to ensure that issues are addressed immediately.
