A Derbyshire care home, working with the Team Up Enhancing Health in Care Homes initiative, has won a regional award. Stephanie Turner, manager of Tarry Hill care home in High Peak, was announced as the main winner at the ‘Connecting Together’ care home webinar on 6 April. Tarry Hill is a residential service offering support to people with learning disabilities.
These are the first care home awards run by the East Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative, part of East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN). They recognise the achievements of care homes in the region that have excelled at ‘improved team working’.
Stephanie was nominated for her skills in helping the team go from strength to strength, and increasing staff confidence in following personalised care plans, making positive risk assessments, and identifying subtle changes in the health of residents they care for. Since joining, Stephanie has taken Tarry Hill from an ‘inadequate’ to a ‘good’ CQC rating.
