Cakes Galore at the Exminster Village Fete!
/in NewsThis years’ Exminster village fete was the first in 20 years! The Manor, our home in Exminster, were asked to take part. Ever keen to support our local community, we jumped at the chance. The Care Team ran a Tombola stand which was extremely popular. Our fabulous chef at The Manor made cakes to sell and a beautifully decorated cake which was used in the ‘Guess the weight of the cake’ competition. There was also a ‘Guess the designer of the cake’ competition – a cake in the style of a handbag made by a famous designer – is there no end to our Chef’s talent! The photograph shows the winner being presented with the cake by one of our Carers, Danielle. The stand made £215.81 and will be used by the residents of The Manor for entertainment of their choice or an outing in the Stonehaven minibus. Well done to all involved – a really great day!

Stonehaven homes secure CQUIN certificate and are rewarded with a boost to their residents funds!
/in NewsIn recent months Torbay Care Trust has run a quality assessment for providers of residential care for older people in the Torbay Area. The scheme was voluntary and invited care providers to submit evidence that their operations met a number of important ‘care standards’ as dictated by the Care Trust. Following submission of evidence and assessments of submissions Stonehaven Healthcare Ltd is delighted that its two residential care homes, Cross Park and Frensham House, were two of the 38 homes in the area to be awarded CQUIN status.
In total 41 care homes submitted applications, this represents 36% of the local market. 28 passed outright (including both Cross Park and Frensham House), 10 passed ‘with conditions’ and 3 failed to achieve the necessary standards.
Whilst the care homes, and the company, are delighted by the simple fact that the Cross Park and Frensham House have achieved this endorsement there was also a financial incentive of about £1,000.00 per care home. This ‘reward money’ has been allocated by the company to each homes residents fund to be spent as the residents and care team see fit.
So, great care delivered and a thousand pounds to spend.
