Respecting residents' Civil Rights
Maintain your individuality and personal freedom.
No rigid routines - live life at a pace that feels right for you.
At our family-run care homes, we are committed to upholding the rights and freedoms of all residents.
Moving into residential care should never mean giving up your independence; we actively support your ability to make choices in all aspects of daily life.
From deciding when and where to enjoy your meals, to accessing community and healthcare services, or exercising your right to vote, residents in our homes live life on their own terms.
We respect and support all individuals, regardless of their personal beliefs or opinions, and are dedicated to maintaining a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
Permanent care teams in every home
We do not employ agency staff.
No Agency Staff – residents see the same friendly faces daily.
Each of our care homes has a dedicated, permanent care team that residents can get to know and rely on. Every resident is assigned a personal carer who is responsible for their care needs and well-being, ensuring that no one ever goes without the attention they need. We work closely with our residents to build trusting relationships that help them feel comfortable, safe and supported in our care.
Each member of staff undergoes a thorough screening process.
All Medicrest staff members undergo a thorough screening process, including an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check and detailed professional and character references. New employees complete a three-month probation period and receive bi-monthly clinical supervision. Long-standing staff receive annual performance appraisals, but the most valuable feedback comes directly from our residents and their families.
