Introducing New Staff Uniforms
Oak Mount Care Home is introducing standardised uniforms for all staff. Care assistants will wear pale blue, seniors mid-blue, and domestic cleaners grey, making it easier for residents and visitors to identify roles. The new uniforms are expected in place within two weeks. Staff now also wear hi-vis name badges to help residents recognise them easily.
Decorating Oak Mount Care Home
Over the next couple of weeks at Oak Mount Care Home, we will be decorating some of the communal areas, including the dining room and upstairs corridors. This will of course cause a bit of minor disruption, which we apologise in advance for.
Ringwood Carnival 2024 Gold Sponsors
We were delighted to once again be Gold Sponsors of Ringwood Carnival 2024. Every year the carnival seems to go from strength to strength which is as a direct result of the unbelievable hard work and dedication of all the volunteers who organise and run the event, it is for this reason that Oak Mount Care home is happy to support this community event, to help out in some small way.
How Small Things Can Make A Big Difference?
Oak Mount is introducing high-contrast name tags to help residents with vision or memory issues recognise staff more easily. This will make it simpler for residents to call staff by name, strengthening relationships and enhancing the warm, friendly atmosphere.
