Health & Safety

FIre Safety
We encorage and train all to take the time to familiarise everyone with our Fire Safety Procedures. In particular all should be aware of the sound the fire alarm makes and the various points of exit from the Home. These fire exits are marked with green signs with symbols showing you the way to exit. If the fire alarm sounds wait where you are until staff arrive to tell you where to go.

Smoking
Smoking is allowed in the Home after staffs have completed an appropriate Risk Assessment. Please note that smoking is ONLY permitted in designated areas (in the Smoking Room or outside to the rear of the Home). Smoking is NOT permitted in the kitchen areas, dining room or other areas where food is handled.

Freedom of movement
We do not restrict your freedom of movement around the Home in any way. This applies to both inside and outside the Home while still on the property. Please note, however, that on occasions for safety reasons we may need to temporarily restrict activity outside the Home, for example where there may be a risk of slipping on icy surfaces in the winter months.

Security
We aim to provide an environment that is safe and secure for our residents, staff and visitors. For this reason you will find many security measures including sophisticated locks, a stringent registration process for visitors, an alarm call system fitted into each room (which is linked to a central control panel) and security lighting.
