The facility carries
a management & staff complement of 27.
The staff set up
as listed below is designed to provide comprehensive flexible support
to all clients.
Care plans are formulated
individually and client needs differ considerably. Flexibility
is our key and we pride ourselves on being flexible enough to cope with
client needs and involvement. We maintain a very heavy staff/client ratio
and will extend our resources that extra mile, adapting both
care plans and staff programming to fulfil client requirements. The most
valuable qualification to possess is 'experience', and after 15 years
in dealing with clients suffering from Korsakoff's Syndrome, KorCareLtd
staff are trained and best equipped to provide the day to day needs of
the clients.
Korsakoff clients
particularly need constant support whilst settling in and ongoing involvement
with support staff and other clients to maximise quality of life. Often
location presents problems and clients need subtle, thoughtful support
to assist familiarity with their environment.
