Meet The Manager
Janet Bromley is Care Home Manager at Rodwell House.
Rodwell House is a new purpose-built home for residents with nursing care needs. The home has been designed specifically to offer high levels of specialist nursing care to:
- older people with dementia type illnesses
- older people with physical frailty
- younger adults with physical disabilities
There are separate areas within the home for each of these categories so that each resident can live in a socially compatible group.
It is critical that we serve our residents well and we seek to do this using the principles of Servant Leadership. This makes for a fulfilling working environment which in turn benefits our residents and their families and the care professionals we work with.
We believe it is important to understand each resident’s past and present relationships to others and to empower them to talk about their memories and give them a chance to contribute and feel involved. So we pride ourselves on providing Relationship Centred Care which puts each resident at the heart of a mutually beneficial relationship between their family and friends, our staff and healthcare professionals.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Our Social Co-ordinators concentrate on providing stimulating activity for our residents. We offer a full activities programme based on large, small and one to one activities designed specifically to meet the needs of our client group. We are conscious that many people enjoy watching television or just having thinking time and are sensitive to the needs of those who choose not to join in group activity. If residents choose to stay in their room, wander through the home or visit the administration office, then that is what they can do. With safety aspects in mind the kitchen and laundry are places we discourage visits to but otherwise residents exercise choice and control over their day to day activities. Over half our residents do not receive regular visits from friends of relatives and some none at all. We therefore strive to specifically involve them in the running of the home. On residents’ birthdays, we mark the day with a card and a gift. A cake is presented at tea time when the staff sing Happy Birthday. We also celebrate other special days such as Valentines Day. At Easter time each resident is presented with a full sized egg and at Christmas specially chosen gifts are given. We keep in regular contact with relatives throughout the year and welcome contributions and ideas in planning individual social programmes. We have family functions at Christmas and hold an annual summer party. Relatives are encouraged to visit whenever they wish and can telephone regularly for updates. |
