Dursley care home achieves gold standard for palliative care
Dursley
Venue: 123 Westward Rd, Stroud GL5 4SP
A care home in Dursley has earned a prestigious accreditation recognising its high standards of care for residents in the later stages of life.
The Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Quality Hallmark Award has been presented to Care UK’s The Hollies, on Drake Lane, highlighting exceptional end-of-life nursing care for residents and support for their families.
Developed in 2004, GSF is a practical and evidence-based end-of-life care service improvement programme. It is centred around ensuring people live well in the last years of their lives and pass away comfortably in the environment and manner of their choosing.
Virginia Peachey, Customer Relations Manager at The Hollies, said: “We’re pleased our work to ensure residents lead happy and rewarding lives, especially in their final days, has been recognised through receiving this Gold Standard Framework accreditation.
“The team consistently goes above and beyond in delivering exceptional care for residents throughout their time with us, making certain every person feels their wishes are heard and respected.”
The home achieved an outstanding score of 75/80, with the report praising the team's communication, strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing and compassionate leadership.
Personal relationships are built with each resident to promote comfort and wellbeing, and family needs are also identified, with the home continuing to support relatives after their loved one has passed away.
Virginia added: “Here at The Hollies, we are committed to providing the very best in end-of-life care.
“From the relationships built with each resident to the ongoing training our team members undertake, we always strive to go above and beyond.”
The Hollies is a state-of-the-art care community that provides full-time residential, dementia and nursing care, as well as short-term respite care across two homes: The Hollies and Holly Oak. Both buildings incorporate plenty of space for leisure activities and hobbies and include their own café, hair and beauty salon and pub.
