We were
extremely proud to have won the “Care Business of the Year - Below 50

To have been

wonderful achievement for all at Burleigh House.

over 2000 care homes and care organisations in Hertfordshire and to be known
as “the best” is particularly rewarding.

June 2009 – Nomination for Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Award
We are very proud to announce our
recent nomination for the inaugural
Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)
Herts. “Small Businesses Awards.”
The FSB recognised our strong and
continued commitment towards the training and development of our
staff and shortlisted us for an award within their
Staff Training and Development award
category.
In particular they were impressed
with our dedication in ensuring that all staff members are not only trained to
the National Minimum standards required within the care sector, but that we
offer both our care and non-care staff
training for industry specific
qualifications and a comprehensive
personal development plan.
This also included the unique and
specialist training our staff have undertaken for the care of
dementia residents in particular,
namely through the home’s created Montessori-based and Spaced Retrieval
therapies.
All of which help us in achieving
our main goal, that of providing the
highest level of care to our residents.
