Christmas
We had a wonderful Christmas here at Ingham House!
Some of the highlights this year included a trip to the Eastbourne pantomime, Christmas shopping and lunch at paradise park, and a lovely carol concert performed by the children from St. John’s school.

Stakeholders
Thank you again to everyone who participated in our most recent stakeholder’s survey. In the results of the survey it was clear that some family members and friends were not aware of the way our care planning system works. Below is a brief outline, if you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to pop in or give us a call.
Before a resident moves into Ingham House a pre assessment document is completed with the input of the relatives and significant people in their lives. These details are then transferred into a more comprehensive care plan.
As soon as somebody moves in to Ingham House, a member of our senior care team will work with the new resident, their relatives and relevant health care professionals to create an extensive and individual care plan using information gathered at the pre-assessment stage as well as any new information. The care plans can cover everything from medication and allergies to preferences on clothing and daily activities. These care plans are working documents which our care tem use for reference and are updated to reflect changes in health, preferences or medications among other things. All care plans are reviewed weekly by the manager and senior care team.
Thank you for taking the time to read our newsletter.
We look forward to welcoming family and friends to our events over the coming year.
