We are delighted to introduce our new Registered Manager, Daniel Hart.
Daniel has worked in the care sector for over twenty years and has ambitious plans for the home.
He is recruiting a fine dining chef, an additional activities coordinator and working on a schedule of events to get residents out into the heart of the community.
Daniel said: “I don’t want our residents’ social lives to stop just because they move into a care home. I believe it’s extremely important for them to carry on with activities that are dear to them.
“I’ve been chatting to all our residents and asking them what they miss being able to do. As a result, we’re fixing trips to the local pub, shopping visits so they can buy treats for their loved ones, cinema and theatre outings and we’re even planning to go to the local bingo hall.
“We’re hoping they bump into people they know and will get a lot out of doing normal things, such as catching up over a pint with their pals or being able to shop for treats for their grandchildren.
“We’ll follow all the Covid safety guidelines but I’m determined that the pandemic shouldn’t stop our residents from having a life.
“To help make meal times at the home extra special, we’re also going to recruit a fine dining chef who can make the dining experience a focal point for the home.
“I’m delighted to have joined The Oaks at such an exciting time. It is a beautiful forward-thinking home with amazing staff and we’ve got lots of ideas to take it to the next level.”
Jen Roberts, the former Registered Manager of The Oaks who has been promoted to become Development Manager for the group, said: “It’s great to welcome Daniel on board. His passion and enthusiasm for providing outstanding resident-led care within a modern setting really stand out and we’re excited to hear his plans for the home.”
The Oaks Care Home is part of the Sandstone Care Group.
