The Eden Alternative Revalidation Report
We are delighted to have been awarded the Platinum Level again (The highest you can achieve) in our recent revalidation of the Eden Alternative. This is when care is assessed by professional auditors from outside of the Company.
Auditors carried out interviews with a selection of team members, residents and relatives, as well as taking surveys, audits, and photo-based evidence.
The auditors said: “It was a pleasure to speak with the team, residents and relatives. It was clear from the interviews with the team members at Parkwood that they are proud and happy to work there.
The manager has managed to maintain the level of person-centred care and wellbeing since the last revalidation and has even added further improvements and new initiatives, which embrace the Eden philosophy and ensures that these are understood within the team.
It was clear that team members get a real sense of achievement out of their work at Parkwood, and enabling people to live their best possible lives is a key part of their philosophy. Congratulations to all the team.
“The photographic evidence really captured the joy and engagement residents had in relation to activities and events that are put on at Parkwood House.
The team and manager all felt empowered and supported to make changes to support, maintain and improve the Eden philosophy.
There was an emphasis on building positive relationships with residents, and integrating Eden into the day-to-day care provision.”
